Debates regarding the improvement of educational quality have a privileged place in the national and international political-educational agendas. The European Union has expressed its commitment to improving the teaching profession, highlighting initial training as a fundamental pillar. The objective of this study is to know the profile and perception of the students of the Master of Teacher Training in Spain on a series of variables related to said training and the professional profile. For this, a correlational descriptive study of the social and training profile of 381 students of the Master's Degree in Teacher Training is carried out. An ad hoc computerized questionnaire was developed in which twelve variables are measured and correlations are analyzed using Chi-Square and Somers's d on contingency tables. The results show a clearly vocational profile and a good image of the teacher and their training.
