DECA Online is a distance course that gives teachers of early-childhood and primary education the Declaración Eclesiástica de Competencia Académica (DECA). Training and examinations are delivered 100% online on a Moodle platform, with personal tutoring by telephone or video call and ongoing online tutorial support by e-mail and in-platform messaging. The course is organised into 4 modules of 6 ECTS each, and the full course lasts 4 months.

The course is aimed at holders of a primary or early-childhood teaching degree, or an equivalent degree, and at students currently enrolled in one. The full course is priced at 650€. The programme is organised by the Instituto Superior de Ciencias Religiosas de Almería, which also offers Grado and Master programmes in Religious Sciences issued by the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca and a semi-presencial edition of the DECA course.

The course is accredited by the Conferencia Episcopal Española, and the institute reports 20 years of activity at its Almería centre. The current edition, DECA 26, runs from October 2026 to January 2027, and the website lists later editions for 2027 with a revised evaluation system.
