The evaluation system consists of the assessment of the work developed according to the training project and through the following instruments:
- Final report of the external tutor of the collaborating entity
- Final report of the student

Evaluation and qualification: the academic tutor, in view of the report from the collaborating entity and the student's final report, will evaluate the internship carried out, covering the corresponding evaluation report, so that he/she himself/herself or the coordinator of the internships covers and signs the records.
