Sumario: The assessment of psychoeducational skills is crucial in the design of specialized training to enhance the involvement of those working with offenders. Through a pre and post quasi-experimental design, we evaluated the impact of a process of training in psycho-educational skills of professionals and technicians.

Results are discussed regarding the distinctions that should be considered in an appropriate training program for each target group.
