AB Changes which took place in the last years within the European higher educational system, necessitated special attention to the effects of the Bologna Declaration influence on the process of training of future teachers in Poland. The author of this paper believes that the acquisition of the appropriate competences by geography students - candidates for teachers constitutes the most important element in professional training of the future teacher including a geography teacher. The aim of the performed research was: a comprehensive assessment of the acquisition of competences by geography teachers - mentors of vocational teacher trainings, a multifaceted analysis of factors influencing the process of developing students' competences - candidates for geography teachers and also working out a model of the assessment of teachers' competences by geography students. The presented research is an attempt to find the relationship between the received points given for the development of competences and the assessment performed both in points and marks given by geography students who did vocational teaching training with geography teachers as their mentors at school. Students assessed the observed lessons which were carried out by geography teachers - their mentors.
