After observing the difficulties that many teachers had to integrate digital tools in their remote classes during the pandemic, the objective was to establish the relationship between continuing education and digital competence of teachers. The paradigm was positivist with a quantitative-descriptive approach. For data collection, two questionnaires (continuous training, 41 items and digital competence, 54 items) were applied to a sample of 160 teachers and validated by the judgment of five experts. Cronbach's alpha for both variables was greater than 0.9, i.e. of excellent reliability. The continuous training variable registered 21.9% of the total sample under study at the inadequate level, 70% at the regular level and 8.1% at the adequate level. As results, the educational needs dimension registered a regular level of 75.0%; pedagogical needs reached an inadequate level of 26.9%; for human needs, a regular level of 44.4% was reached; and for research needs, the level reached was regular with 73.1%. Concluding that the continuous updating of teachers is linked to the development of their digital skills.
