METHODS: This research has a quantitative approach, using data collection and analysis to answer and test the hypotheses established at the beginning, with the use of statistics.. RESULTS: It is evident that postgraduate training for speech pathologists at the international level is directed to their professional area, while at the national level the postgraduate trend is focused on work performance. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION: The postgraduate programs for speech pathologists, depending on their origin, are maintained over time, since at the international level the trend is towards audiology and speech, while at the national level the trend is towards multidisciplinary areas such as occupational health and safety. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary that higher education institutions at the national level expand the offer of postgraduate training in speech therapy in the different areas of speech, language, voice, orofacial motor skills, since the current offer is very scarce.
