If you were preparing your competition score based on the teaching scale published on May 11, 2026, your calculations are wrong. INGESA has corrected a material error in Annex III of the competitive examination calls for Administrative Assistant, Orderly, Laborer and Kitchen Assistant: the score per hour of teaching provided is 0.025 points, not 0.25 as stated in the original text.
The correction is formalized through the Resolution of May 27, 2026 from INGESA, published in the BOE on June 8, 2026 with immediate effect. The remaining parameters of the section—limit of 75 hours annually and 10-year period—remain unchanged.
What does this regulation establish?
The INGESA competitive examination calls published on May 11, 2026 included in their Annex III the scale for valuing applicants' merits in the competition phase. One of those merits is teaching provided: courses, workshops or training that the applicant has given to third parties in the last 10 years.
The detected error affects exclusively the score per hour of teaching provided. The following table summarizes the change:
| Parameter | Original text (incorrect) | Corrected text (valid) |
|---|---|---|
| Score per hour of teaching provided | 0.25 points/hour | 0.025 points/hour |
| Limit of computable hours per year | 75 hours | 75 hours (no change) |
| Computation period | 10 years | 10 years (no change) |
The correction affects all four called categories: Administrative Function Auxiliary Group (Administrative Assistant), Orderly, Laborer and Kitchen Assistant. All of them shared the same Annex III with the error.
Economic and operational impact
Although there is no direct economic impact for companies, the impact on applicants is very concrete: the maximum score obtainable for teaching provided is reduced by a factor of 10.
This can significantly alter the order of preference in the competition phase, especially for applicants who have accumulated a relevant volume of training hours provided over the 10 computable years. Those who had calculated their score with the incorrect value of 0.25 pts/hour were overestimating their competitive position in the competition.
For human resources managers at INGESA healthcare centers and for unions advising their members in these exams, this correction requires reviewing the score estimates already communicated to candidates.
Who does it affect?
- Applicants registered in the 2026 INGESA exams for the Administrative Assistant category (Administrative Function Auxiliary Group).
- Applicants registered for the Orderly category.
- Applicants registered for the Laborer category.
- Applicants registered for the Kitchen Assistant category.
- Academies and exam preparers who have provided competition score simulations to their students.
- Unions and advisors who are guiding candidates on their estimated score in the competition phase.
Practical example
Imagine an applicant for Orderly who has provided training consistently over the last 10 years, reaching the maximum computable of 75 hours annually each year.
| Concept | With incorrect scale (0.25 pts/h) | With corrected scale (0.025 pts/h) |
|---|---|---|
| Computable hours (75 h/year × 10 years) | 750 hours | 750 hours |
| Score obtained for teaching | 187.5 points | 18.75 points |
| Difference from incorrect calculation | — | –168.75 points |
The difference is enormous. An applicant who had calculated their competition score with the incorrect scale will find that their actual score for teaching is ten times lower than expected. This can completely change their position in the order of preference and, consequently, their access to a position.
What should applicants do now?
- Recalculate your teaching score using the corrected value of 0.025 points per hour. Multiply your computable hours (maximum 75 per year, in the last 10 years) by 0.025.
- Review your total estimated score in the competition phase. If teaching provided was a relevant item in your scale, your competitive position may have changed significantly.
- Consult the corrected official text in the BOE (Resolution of May 27, 2026, published June 8, 2026) to confirm there are no other errors in Annex III affecting your category.
- If you are a preparator, academy or union advisor, immediately update the score simulations you have provided to your students or members with the new value of 0.025 pts/hour.
- Maintain vigilance for possible new corrections in these calls. When a material error of this magnitude is detected, it is advisable to carefully review the rest of Annex III.
Frequently asked questions
How many points does each hour of teaching provided score now in the 2026 INGESA exams?
After the correction published on June 8, 2026, each hour of teaching provided scores 0.025 points. The original text of the calls (published May 11, 2026) incorrectly stated 0.25 points per hour, ten times more. The limit of 75 hours annually and the 10-year period have not changed.
What is the maximum score for teaching provided in the INGESA competitive examination?
With the corrected scale: 75 hours/year × 10 years × 0.025 points/hour = 18.75 maximum points for teaching provided. With the incorrect scale, that maximum would have been 187.5 points, which shows the magnitude of the corrected error.
Which categories does the INGESA teaching scale correction affect?
The correction affects all four called categories: Administrative Assistant (Administrative Function Auxiliary Group), Orderly, Laborer and Kitchen Assistant. All shared the same Annex III with the error in the score per hour of teaching provided.
Where is the official correction of the INGESA teaching scale published?
In the Resolution of May 27, 2026 from INGESA, published in the BOE on June 8, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-12338). It is the official text and prevails over the original calls of May 11, 2026.
What if I already calculated my competition score with the incorrect scale of 0.25 pts/hour?
You must recalculate it with the correct value of 0.025 pts/hour. Your score for teaching provided will be ten times lower than you estimated. This may affect your position in the order of preference. There is no specific appeal deadline for this reason, but it is essential that you adjust your expectations and preparation strategy to the actual score.
