A cross-sectional descriptive research study was conducted to describe the primary health care managers of La Habana province in 2012, and to find out their level of satisfaction with the received training, as part of a strategy of the Ministry of Public Health. The universe of study was the total number of managers who participated in the first diploma's course; they were 18 professionals who worked at the primary health care level in the province. Two instruments were applied, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the diploma's course, being the studied variables length of experience at the post, years of work experience, professional formation and expectations about the course. The main results were the students' opinions about the incorporation of management knowledge and skills- which represented a useful tool for daily work at the various hierarchical levels- the updated managing topics, the quality of the faculty, the teaching quality of the given topics and the improvement of their preparation for a managing post. It was recommended to give this diploma's course throughout the country.
