    Introduction:This study analyses the perception of preparedness among aspiring early childhood and primary school teachers in Spain, within a selective regulatory framework that influences strategies and experiences. Objectives:To evaluate how methodologies and resources, content structure, trainer support, and emotional factors are associated with perceived preparedness, and to verify differences by gender and age. Methodology:Cross-sectional quantitative questionnaire with a self-administered questionnaire (35 items, 4 blocks; α= 0.979) administered online to 102 participants, and performing a specific statistical analysis (Spearman's rho, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis). Results:Overall positive perceptions (means 2.67-3.52); higher scores in punctuality/time management and legislation; lower scores in emotional support, work-life balance, and teaching innovation. Strong correlations between all blocks and overall preparation (ρ=.845-.983), highest in structure/content; no significant differences byage (H=3.78; p=.286) or gender (U=961; p=.382). Conclusions:The preparation perceived by candidates depends above all on curriculum alignment, good methodological practices, and coaching; operational priorities (transparent feedback, authentic simulations, and emotional support).
