Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  AllegroTrans: a directive is an official instruction ("how to do") whereas an "orden" is secondary legislation ("must do")

Reference

Reference information:
Probably you already know, but "order" here refers to "Orden EFP/82/2021, de 28 de enero, por la que se establece el currículo del ciclo formativo de grado medio correspondiente al título de Técnico en Guía en el medio natural y de tiempo libre." (https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2021-1619). So yes, is a legal disposition.
