Course sources and how we make it.
Every fact with a number or a rule comes from a public document that we store with its date and a digital fingerprint. The test questions are our own.
How we make the course
- We read the original rule on the BOE website, not third-party summaries. When a European rule has changed, we also keep the text that amends it.
- We keep a copy of each document, with the date and its SHA-256 fingerprint, so we can show what it said.
- Every fact carries its exact phrase. An automatic check confirms that the phrase is in the copy; if it is not, the site is not published.
- The questions are our own. We do not copy questions from any exam.
- Reading minutes are counted from the real text of each lesson, at 180 words per minute.
- With AI help, checked against the sources: we write with AI help and every fact goes through the automatic check above. If you see a mistake, write to us at hello@aptiaskills.com and we will fix it.
- Translated with AI from our Spanish course: the lessons, questions and facts are translated with AI from the Spanish course. The sources and their exact phrases are those of the Spanish course, and the names of the sources stay in Spanish.
