Important progress has been made in resolving the issues that affected the Foreign Language Assistants Programme in Spain, and a new official call was published by the Ministry of Education, Vocational Skills and Sports on 19 May, 2026. The call includes Ireland among the countries for which the call is open to receive English Language Assistants (ELA) for the 2026–2027 academic year.
We expect to have a definite number of places and destinations for Irish applicants in July. However, at this moment, we are not yet in a position to confirm the number of placements or their destinations under the ELA Programme for the 2026–2027 academic year. Therefore, at this moment there are no placements already available for new applicants.
If you are interested, please wait for further communications and updates on this website before taking any further steps.
If you are applying for a renewal, please carefully read points 2.2 and 4 of the new ELA call published by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports. These sections explain the renewal process through the Profex 2 application. All the information and instructions, including the Profex application instructions in English, are available on the official programme webpage:
ELA Programme 2026–2027 Information Page ![]()
The renewal application period will be open from 2 June at 08:01 to 30 June at 19:59 (Madrid time).
If you have any questions about renewals, please contact: auxiliares.conv@educacion.gob.es ![]()
At this stage, this is all the information currently available. Further updates will be shared as soon as possible.
