In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • What changes:
    • The apprenticeship gets new specialisations: curtain decorator is discontinued, and upholstery fitter becomes two specialisations: traditional upholstery and modern upholstery.
    • The main programme lasts 3 years and 6 months for all three specialisations for young people.
    • This was already the case for car saddler and upholstery fitter, while curtain decorator previously had a shorter main programme of 2 years and 3 months.
    • Detailed requirements are moved to the apprenticeship order.
  • Who: The rules apply to apprentices and trainees who start the home furnishing apprenticeship after entry into force. Trainees who started before entry into force continue to follow the previously applicable rules (executive order no. 170 of 4 February 2025).
  • When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
