The function of the trainer is key to the development of Evidence-Based Programmes (EBP); they are the people in charge of ensuring that components are rigorously applied, of maintaining motivation, and of promoting adequate relationships between participants. The aim of the study was to assess the levels of competence of professionals applying the Family Competence Program (PCF). In order to achieve the aims of the PCF, competences in the Intrapersonal and Interpersonal areas are especially relevant. The assessment was carried out using the CompeTEA instrument, which is specialised in assessing professional competences. Data analysis was structured in five areas: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Task development, Setting, and Management. The results show that the professionals possess “intermediate levels of competence”, with the Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Setting areas standing out with respect to the others. Associated to these dimensions, professionals obtained higher levels at both the criteria and normative level, in the competences Self-confidence, Communication, and Result orientation.
