The most important results found in this study is that the answers of the individuals of the samples confirmed the possibility for the construction of the Distance Training Centre for Teachers. In general, the results were positive.
Regarding the changes of the study, the results confirmed the presence of differences having statistical indication at the level of(á =0.05) between the answers of the males and females in favour of females for the first five sections of the questionnaire. Also the results found out the differences having statistical indication at the level of á =0.05) between senior teachers and the training experts. Regarding the changes of years of experience, there were no differences having statistical indications. The researcher interpreted the results of the study within the theoretical framework and previous studies and concluded to proposed assumptions to use Systems approach for the construction of Distance Training Centre for Teachers in the Sultanate of Oman belonging to the Ministry of Education.
