This study aimed at investigating the effect of professional training of teachers on the academic performance of students in evening schools. The working hypothesis which guided this study read thus; “the quality of the professional training of teachers influences the academic performance of students in evening schools”. The survey design was used in this study. As a result, 64 teachers were randomly selected from three Anglophone evening schools in Yaoundé to form the sample. Thestatistical tool that wasused to verify the hypotheses was the chi-square. The results confirmed that there is a significant relationship between the level of a teacher’s training and the academic performance of students in evening schools.Based on these findings, some suggestions were made to holders of the education community in order to increase the professional competences of evening school teachers.
