Annually, University of Burgos hosts students from different countries, specially from the United Mexican States. The agreements between University of Burgos and Mexican University of Baja California, San Luis Potosi, Chihuahua or Mexico City have enabled that many students of the Architecture School take subjects of Building Engineering Degree and Roads, Canals and Ports Engineer Degree. This paper develops a training strategy that professors of the subject of Prevention and Building Safety, which is part of the Building Engineering Degree, have been implemented with the aim to perfect the knowledge of this discipline in visitor’s students from School of Architecture of the United Mexican States.
