The research was carried out according to the quantitative approach, of a basic type, descriptive level and with a correlational design; To this end, the procedures of the scientific method were used, relying on descriptive methods to describe and characterize, the statistical method for the interpretation of quantitative data, while the analysis and synthesis led to integrating the results and drawing solid conclusions about the study and the prioritized sample. In addition, observation and survey techniques were used, in the use of the instrument that consisted of two questionnaires, on didactic techniques and communication skills, which was validated with the expert judgment technique and which served for the collection and processing of data. To do this, the central tendency measures of descriptive and inferential statistics were used using Spearman's Rho, which resulted in a correlation of 0.949. Therefore, didactic techniques and the development of communication skills in the training of university students are strongly and positively related.
