As part of a systematic vision and organization, competences have even been expressed as a certification system legally established in several countries. Objective: to reflect on the need to develop competence-centered education, in order to integrate all knowledge that enables the general formation of students. Conclusion: the competence approach in education can be considered as a tool to provide an action mode and a common language for the training of human resources in tertiary education.
