Spanish term (edited): El curso tendrá un formato de presentación de temas claves

The course will include a presentation of key subjects...

Or, perhaps, "comprise" instead of "include."

The Spanish here is strange, and my sense is that the intended meaning is that the course will include--or perhaps be entirely comprised of--the presentation of key subjects. When you really think about it, it makes no sense to say that "the course will have a format for the presentation of key subjects." Such a statement is nothing more than a tautology, since we would hardly expect a classroom course of any kind not to include a structure--or format--of some kind....

Suerte.

disagree Caroline Clarke : hello, this suggestion feels very clumsy to me, sorry. "format for presenting" seems a bit spanglish i'm afraid.

Sorry to disappoint you Caroline, but I am making a small change in it.
