The main requirements for the hiring of peers are:
- University teaching experience of more than 10 years;
- Professional career, more than 10 years, for example: the professional studied medicine, so, in addition to his teaching experience, he has achieved professional experience as a doctor in hospitals or other health centers;

The Register of Experts is based on the evaluation criteria and quality standards established in the SINAES Accreditation Manual.
