Instrument validation is a complex type of study; this guarantees the quality of an investigation, and contributes to sustaining its results. This research aims to validate an instrument to improve the professional training offered by the "Communication Clinic". A type of instrument validation study has been used, where the expert criteria method, competence coefficient, Kaiser Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index, Bartlett test, factor analysis and the ROC curve have been used. The fundamental results are in semantic changes of the instrument and incorporation of items; the correlations used were accepted; factorial analysis can be applied, grouping the items into six; and the ROC curve guaranteed the sensitivity and specificity of each of the possible cut-off points. It can be concluded that after the readjustments and adjustments, the instrument is ready to be applied in the research associated with the training that is carried out in the "Communication Clinic".
