If you are a candidate for an administrative position at INGESA and you already had your estimated score calculated, that calculation is wrong. The National Institute of Health Management published on June 8, 2026 a correction of errors that directly affects the merit scale of three competitive exam calls published on May 9, 2026.
The error is significant: in the section on teaching delivered within continuing education, 0.25 points per teaching hour was stated when the correct value is 0.025 points per teaching hour. A difference of one decimal place that multiplies the actual score by ten. The correction is published through the Resolution of May 27, 2026 from INGESA in the BOE.
What does this correction establish?
The resolution corrects a material error in the merit scale of three competitive exam calls from INGESA, convened on April 23, 2026 and published on May 9, 2026. The error is located in the section on teaching delivered within the continuing education block.
The following table summarizes the specific change:
| Item | Incorrect value (published) | Correct value (corrected) |
|---|---|---|
| Score per hour of teaching delivered | 0.25 points/hour | 0.025 points/hour |
| Limit of annual computable hours | 75 hours/year | 75 hours/year (unchanged) |
| Computation period | 10 years | 10 years (unchanged) |
The three categories affected by this correction are:
- Senior Graduate Administrative Function Health Administration
- Mid-Level Graduate Administrative Function
- Administrative Graduate Health Administration
The rest of the merit scale is not affected by this correction. Only the subsection on teaching delivered within continuing education has been modified.
Impact on applicants' scores
This error is not minor. An applicant who had delivered teaching over several years could have estimated a score for this item up to ten times higher than what actually corresponds to them. This can significantly alter their relative position in the competitive exam and, consequently, their strategy for the exam phase.
To understand the magnitude: if an applicant delivers the maximum computable amount of 75 hours annually for 10 years (750 hours total), the difference between the incorrect and correct value is as follows:
| Scenario | With incorrect value (0.25 pts/h) | With correct value (0.025 pts/h) |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute maximum (750 hours) | 187.5 points | 18.75 points |
| 500 hours delivered | 125 points | 12.5 points |
| 200 hours delivered | 50 points | 5 points |
The difference is substantial. Any applicant who had counted on this merit as a differentiating lever in their estimated score must review their strategy.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates who have registered in any of the three competitive exam calls from INGESA published on May 9, 2026.
- Applicants who have delivered teaching in continuing education courses and would have included this merit in their self-assessment.
- Candidates for positions in the territories of Ceuta and Melilla, which are INGESA's management areas.
- Advisors and exam preparation specialists who have provided score estimates to their students based on the original call.
Practical example
Imagine an applicant for the position of Senior Graduate Administrative Function who, over the last 10 years, has taught internal training courses in their organization. In total, they accumulate 300 hours of teaching delivered, respecting the 75-hour annual limit.
With the incorrect value published in the original call (0.25 pts/hour), this applicant would have calculated:
- 300 hours × 0.25 pts/hour = 75 points for teaching delivered
With the correct value after the error correction (0.025 pts/hour), the actual score is:
- 300 hours × 0.025 pts/hour = 7.5 points for teaching delivered
This applicant would have overestimated their score by 67.5 points for this item alone. If their strategy for the exam phase was calibrated based on that estimated score in the merit competition, they must reconsider it completely.
What should applicants do now?
- Recalculate your estimated score in the teaching delivered section using the correct value of 0.025 points per hour, not 0.25.
- Verify the hour limit: the maximum computable remains 75 hours annually over a 10-year period. This data has not changed.
- Review your strategy for the exam phase: if your estimated score in the merit competition was high thanks to teaching delivered, it is possible that your relative position is less favorable than you thought. Adjust the effort in the exam phase accordingly.
- Consult the correction resolution published in the BOE on June 8, 2026 to confirm that there are no other errors affecting your specific category.
- If you are an exam preparation advisor or specialist, communicate this change to all your students registered in these INGESA calls and provide them with the correct recalculation.
