[Training in basic and advanced laparoscopy: Evaluation of a 30-year experience in a training program in Spain.]

We describe our 30-years experience in different training programs in urological laparoscopy that have been sponsored by the Spanish Association of Urology (AEU), and have undergone several validity studies to assess their capacity in order to evaluate effectively basic and advanced laparoscopic skills. We will also highlight the current and future trend towards training models based on surgical competences where individualized training, accreditation and specialization of tutors is crucial, and where the increase in the use of training and evaluation methods based on the simulation are increasingly common.
