General proficiencies
2.1. Basic proficiencies
CB1 Students demonstrate knowledge and understanding in an area of study that is part of the basis of general secondary education, and is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that imply knowledge at the forefront of knowledge.
CB2 Students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner, and have competences typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments and solving problems within their field of study.
CB3 Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) that make them able to make judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical topics.
CB4 Students can communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
CB5 Students develope those learning skills needed to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy.
2.2. General proficiencies
CG1 To know the curriculum areas of Primary Education, the interdisciplinary relationship between different areas of study, the evaluation criteria, and the body of didactic knowledge about teaching and learning processes.
CG2 To design, plan and evaluate teaching and learning processes, both individually and in collaboration with other teachers and school professionals.
CG3 To deal effectively with language learning situations in contexts of multicultural and multilingual diversity. Promote reading and critical analysis of texts of various scientific and cultural content in the school curriculum domains.
CG6 To understand the organization of primary schools and the diversity of actions comprising their routine operation. Perform the functions of mentoring and guidance to students and their families, meeting the unique educational needs of students.

- Medium: Adquisition of most of the proficiencies, dominating those skills that contribute to the specific proficiencies of the grade
- Deficient: Poor adquisition of skills that contribute to the specific proficiencies of the grade
A student will get a pass ("APTO") grade if the learning level is optimum or medium
