This research article aims to present the main findings from the study on the perception of college students about the formation and the development of their professional skills from the guidelines and standards, formulated for the generic competences in the Tuning Project (2011-2013).Latin America has identified the need to develop different studies to uncover know the perceptions ofcollege students, on the levels of recognition and potential impact about the generic competences of Tuning project for their professional performance. The study was developed from the empirical-analytic paradigm with a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 384 college students in the Colombian Caribbean region, with a 95% confidence level and 5% sample error. The level of reliability was estimated with the Cronbachs alpha method (α: .904), and the correlation indexes item - scale ranged from (r: .38 and r: .74). The Mean of recognition (3.83) was minor that the mean of potential impact perceived (4.34) about the generic competences. A significant correlation and directly proportional between recognition and potential impact perceived (r: .63; p .05) was found. It is necessary to strengthen the coordination processes and curriculum management in undergraduate programs, with a view to creating greater levels of standardization and certification of the training programs in the framework of the European Higher Education.
