The English language edition of Part-FCL specifies that the initial FIC course shall include at least 100 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction. The Spanish language edition gives it as 80 hours which is clearly an error because the German, French, Italian, Danish, etc, editions all specify 100 hours.

FCL.930.FI FI — Training course
...
(b) The FI training course shall include:
(1) 25 hours of teaching and learning;
(2) at least 100 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction, including progress tests;
...

FCL.930.FI FI - Curso de formación
...
b) El curso de formación para FI incluirá:
1) 25 horas de enseñanza y aprendizaje;
2) al menos 80 horas de instrucción teórica, incluidas pruebas de progreso;

Notwithstanding the translation error it is a requirement made in the Basic Regulation, point 1.9.1. in annex IV, that:

"Theoretical instruction must be given by appropriately qualified instructors."
"La instrucción teórica deberá ser impartida por instructores debidamente cualificados."
