Abstract
It is evident that the teaching of a skilled job in the Hispanic world followed a tradition of the Hispanic world, inherited from the Middle Ages, although the specific circumstances of this era caused certain alternations in this teaching process. Many of those jobs were promoted by the Spanish in the light of the new needs created, which in some cases were unknown to the Indians, like that of blacksmith, pan-mender, etc. In general, the process was that of a learner, official and teacher. These jobs did not always meet the needs of each situation. In some cases because in the Andean world the indigenous organizational tradition was taken advantage of for certain jobs. An effort to exemplify all this is made with what happened in the territory, which is now Colombia, which at that time was divided into the New Granada and Quito.
