How we work and how to reach us

Every figure and claim is checked against a public source, preferably the primary one, and the sources are listed at the end of each page. Schools, universities and courses are mentioned only as examples with a source; we do not rank them and we accept no payment for coverage. Our editorial rules are on the page Редакционна политика (in Bulgarian).

We publish guides only: we do not run courses or answer questions about enrolment. If you spot a mistake or want to suggest a topic, please write to kontakt@itstep.bg, in Bulgarian or English.
