This paper is a quantitative research study of teachers' perceptions and experiences in relation to their training needs and expectations for the improvement of their digital skills, considering the special circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research data were gathered in order to design, administer, and evaluate a 15-hour synchronous distance training program. The research tool used was questionnaires, and the research questions were: (1) To what extent do teachers consider that they need training for the development of their digital skills and for their professional empowerment? (2) To what extent did the structure and implementation of the specific program meet their expectations and needs? The findings of the research show that teachers consider their training necessary for the development of their digital skills and that the level of satisfaction of the participants in the program is high.
