With the aim of measuring trainee’s academic burnout, the Maslach Burnout Inventory –Student Scale was translated, revised and validated. A cross-sectorial study took place between November and March 2020.The sample consisted 160 trainee teachers (36% males, 64% females) from Kénitra Regional Center of Education and Training (CRMEF). The average age is 27.94 ± 5.44 years. The Data collected was analyzed by SPSS to establish descriptive analysis, calculate reliability, and other psychometric properties. An exploratory factor analysis was used to validate the MBI-SS instrument. The results indicated the conservation of three factors. All subscales had satisfactory reliability. This study can be applied to more specific samples in other regional centers.
