摘要：The educational journey in postgraduate programs is linked to the actors, processes and results, setting the tone for different approaches from the perspective of characterization, development and evaluation. It is summarized in a sequential manner in four stages: entry to the program, progress within the program, and the final educational stretch, where the instructor/tutor plays an important part and obtaining the diploma or degree. The goal of this research was to evaluate, using the students’ perceptions, formative experiences as a result of their academic journey in postgraduate programs within education in Northern Mexico. We have used a case study based on the focus groups technique, applied to a sample of cases comprised of students enrolled in their final educational stage. The information was analyzed using inductive data analysis. The main results were grouped into three meta categories: (1) <i>development of professional skills for the successful design of the intervention proposal</i>, which unfolded into four categories; (2) <i>the role of the tutor during the formative process</i>, consisting of four analysis categories and (3) <i>contributions of the teaching staff in their profession</i>, consisting of two categories. These trends also evidence the formative abundance in the personal, academic and social training context of the students.
