Key data
| Regulation | Resolution of May 27, 2026, from INGESA, correcting errors in the Resolutions of April 23, 2026 (competitive exam-selection process call) |
|---|---|
| BOE Publication | June 8, 2026 |
| Effective date | June 8, 2026 |
| Affected parties | Candidates for Senior Technician positions in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine, and Senior Technician in Clinical and Biomedical Diagnostic Laboratory at INGESA |
| Category | Public Sector — Healthcare Exams |
| Error corrected | Score per teaching hour: from 0.25 points to 0.025 points (factor 10) |
| Affected modalities | Open access and internal promotion |
| Maximum scorable hours | 75 hours annually (no changes) |
| Computable period | 10 years (no changes) |
If you are a candidate for Senior Technician positions in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine or Senior Technician in Clinical and Biomedical Diagnostic Laboratory at INGESA, the merit scoring scale published on May 9, 2026 contained a material error that multiplied by 10 the actual score per hour of teaching provided. The Resolution of May 27, 2026, published in the BOE on June 8, corrects that error.
The incorrect data—0.25 points per hour—was already circulating among candidates and exam preparation academies. If you calculated your scores with that value, you must recalculate: the correct data is 0.025 points per teaching hour.
What does this correction establish?
The Resolutions of April 23, 2026 called for selective processes through competitive exam-selection to fill positions for two categories of permanent statutory personnel in healthcare institutions of INGESA. These calls were published in the BOE on May 9, 2026.
In the merit scoring scale, within the section on teaching provided, a score of 0.25 points per hour was incorrectly assigned. The correct value, now established through this error correction, is 0.025 points per hour.
The remaining parameters of the teaching scoring scale remain unchanged:
| Parameter | Value published on 9/05/2026 (incorrect) | Value corrected on 8/06/2026 (correct) |
|---|---|---|
| Score per teaching hour | 0.25 points | 0.025 points |
| Maximum annual scorable hours | 75 hours | 75 hours (no changes) |
| Computable period | 10 years | 10 years (no changes) |
The correction applies to both access modalities: general open access system and internal promotion.
Impact on final score
The error is not minor. A candidate with significant teaching activity could have estimated a score for this merit up to 10 times higher than what actually corresponds to them. This has direct consequences on the strategy for presenting merits and on total score expectations.
To dimension the impact, let's take the maximum scorable case: 75 hours annually for 10 years (750 hours total).
| Scenario | Total hours | With incorrect data (0.25 pts/h) | With correct data (0.025 pts/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum possible (75 h/year × 10 years) | 750 h | 187.5 points | 18.75 points |
| Average activity (30 h/year × 10 years) | 300 h | 75 points | 7.5 points |
| Low activity (10 h/year × 5 years) | 50 h | 12.5 points | 1.25 points |
The difference can be decisive for candidates who had relied on teaching as a differentiating merit against other applicants.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates for Senior Technician positions in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at INGESA (open access and internal promotion).
- Candidates for Senior Technician positions in Clinical and Biomedical Diagnostic Laboratory at INGESA (open access and internal promotion).
- Academies and exam preparers who have provided scoring scale simulations with the incorrect data of 0.25 points per hour.
- INGESA statutory personnel competing through the internal promotion route and who estimated their teaching score with the incorrect value.
Practical example
A candidate working as a technician in an INGESA healthcare institution and aspiring to consolidate their position through internal promotion has provided, over the last 8 years, an average of 40 hours annually of teaching in continuing education courses.
With the incorrect scoring scale (0.25 pts/hour), they would have calculated:
40 h × 8 years × 0.25 = 80 points for teaching provided.
With the correct scoring scale (0.025 pts/hour), the actual score is:
40 h × 8 years × 0.025 = 8 points for teaching provided.
A difference of 72 points that can completely change their position in the ranking order. If this candidate had relied on teaching to compensate for a tighter exam score, they must reconsider their strategy and strengthen other merits in the scoring scale.
What should candidates do now?
- Recalculate your teaching score using the correct value of 0.025 points per hour. Multiply your total hours (with the limit of 75 h/year and maximum 10 years) by 0.025.
- Review your merit strategy: if teaching was your main merit, analyze whether other sections of the scoring scale (professional experience, training, qualifications) can compensate for the reduction.
- Inform your academy or exam preparer if they still work with the incorrect data of 0.25 points per hour, so they update their scoring scale simulators.
- Consult the corrected resolution in the BOE (published on June 8, 2026) to verify that there are no other material errors in the scoring scale that may affect other sections.
- If you already submitted documentation calculated with the incorrect data, check the call deadlines and whether there is possibility of correction or clarification before INGESA.
Frequently asked questions
How many points does each hour of teaching give in the 2026 INGESA exams?
After the correction published on June 8, 2026, each hour of teaching provided is worth 0.025 points. The previous data of 0.25 points per hour was incorrect. The maximum scorable hours is 75 hours annually for a maximum period of 10 years, which equals a maximum of 18.75 points for this concept.
Which INGESA exams are affected by this error in the scoring scale?
The two affected calls are: the Senior Technician in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine and the Senior Technician in Clinical and Biomedical Diagnostic Laboratory. Both modalities—open access and internal promotion—are corrected by the Resolution of May 27, 2026, published in the BOE on June 8, 2026.
When does the INGESA scoring scale correction take effect?
The correction is effective from the same day of its publication in the BOE: June 8, 2026. The original calls with the error were published on May 9, 2026.
What is the real difference between the incorrect and correct scoring scale in maximum score?
With the incorrect data (0.25 pts/hour), the maximum for teaching with 750 total hours (75 h/year × 10 years) would be 187.5 points. With the correct data (0.025 pts/hour), the actual maximum is 18.75 points. The difference is 168.75 points, a factor of 10 that could significantly alter the ranking order among candidates.
Does anything else in the scoring scale change besides the score per teaching hour?
No. The correction only affects the value per hour of teaching provided. The remaining parameters remain unchanged: the maximum of 75 annual scorable hours and the 10-year period have not changed.
