The training of trainers is crucial in socio-educational and preventive family programs that work with adolescents. From the academic literature it has been confirmed that the competences of professionals are key for effective interventions. The objective of the article is to find out, according to experts, which competences are a priority to work on in the training of trainers. As a method, the Delphi technique was used in order to reach consensus among experts, in this case academics and professionals (n=22). The data collection procedure was double round, to ensure consensus was reached, while quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to analyze the information. Regarding the results on the contents that should be prioritized in training, the training of communication skills, the detection of specific needs, the ability to establish links and the involvement of the trainer are highlighted. As a didactic format, practical activities are prioritized. In conclusion, the article contributes scientifically by providing the key components for the design of a curriculum for the training of trainers. Based on contributions from experts, this curriculum focuses on skills training to improve the effectiveness of evidence-based preventive family socio-educational interventions.
