The accreditation of the Church Statement on Academic Competence (DECA, in Spanish) is issued by the Spanish Episcopal Conference. However, the general secretariat of the University of Deusto deals with the accreditation of those who have studied and successfully completed the DECA course in the Faculty of Psychology and Education at this University, or at Begoñako Andra Mari Teacher Training University School (attached centre).
