New executive order on the training for building carpenters

• What changes:

  • The total duration of the training has changed, so it now lasts from 3 years and 9 months to 4 years and 3 months instead of from 2 years and 9 months to 4 years and 3 months.
  • School teaching has become longer in the main courses for young people, adults and eux courses.
  • The fixed rules on when the training ends, and on the scope of school and training periods, are not included in the new text.
  • Requirements for basic subjects, certificates, credit transfer and examinations are now set out in the training scheme (the credit transfer criteria were previously in annex 1).
  • The journeyman's certificate is no longer endorsed with the designations "passed", "passed with distinction", "passed with bronze" or "passed with silver".
  • The overall grade for the final examination is still stated.
• Who: The rules do not apply to pupils and apprentices who started the training before entry into force. They follow the rules previously in force in executive order no. 369 of 8 April 2024.
• When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
