The study was carried out in the context of the National Vision 2030, implemented by the Ministry of Education with the goal of developing education in Saudi Arabia. A qualitative method survey was administered in 2018 to 24 supervisors and head teachers; respondents were asked to outline their experiences with teacher training programmes. The results provided insight into barriers to training effectiveness. Specifically, four obstacles related to trainers, trainees or the training environment were identified, all of which minimise the positive impact of training programmes. The two most significant obstacles are related to the trainers and to the lack of motivation among trainees. Based on these findings, the paper provides a series of guidelines designed to overcome these obstacles. The findings of this study are significant in that they reveal important insights for training centres with regard to barriers to effective training. These results may make it easier for trainers to tailor their programmes in order to meet the changing needs of school leadership. Trainees will be able to develop the managerial skills required of head teachers and will meet the requirements of the Ministry of Education; ultimately, educational training programmes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be enhanced.  \nKeywords: Barriers, training, effectiveness, female, Saudi Arabia  \nIntroduction  \nThe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is witnessing unprecedented development in all aspects aimed at sustainable development, including investment in human capital.  \nAccordingly, efforts have been focused on the development of human resources in all sectors of the Kingdom in order to maximise the human capital required to bring about progress in the Kingdom and achieve comprehensive development. In order to contribute to achieving this goal, the Ministry of Education seeks to play a prominent role in developing the skills and abilities of its staff, including administrators, teachers and educational leaders, by identifying their training needs and working to meet those needs. The objective is to upgrade the Ministry employees’ skills and understanding of relevant areas; it is anticipated that this work will reflect on the education system as a whole.  \nHead teachers play a key role in achieving the goals of contemporary education. As school leaders, they are responsible for the education of all students, for staff management and for school policy making; they are, therefore, ultimately  \n􀀍PhD Student, University of Lincoln, UK.  \n†Senior Lecturer, University of Lincoln, UK.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.7-4-5](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.7-4-5) doi=10.30958/aje.7-4-5  \nresponsible for the functioning and academic standing of the school and for the wellbeing of both students and staff. Implementing training programmes for head teachers is an important means to equip them to meet the administrative, financial, staff, student and technological challenges they may encounter, as well to help them to develop their ability to carry out their tasks effectively (Pheko, 2008; White, 1982).  \nFrom this perspective, in the context of efforts that have been made by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to raise the quality and efficiency of performance in schools and to keep abreast of new developments in education, the MOE has adopted a pedagogic training scheme for head teachers. To this end, it has allocated two million SAR from its 2016/2017 budget to support training programmes for teachers and educational leaders (Ministry of Education, 2016) .
