In short
Reading time: 1 min- What changes:
- The purpose clause has been changed: it now mentions sustainability and longer product life, and says that students must be able to make, restore and maintain furniture and organs using both traditional craftsmanship and modern technologies.
- Requirements for basic subjects, certificates and credit transfer are set out in the training order (the criteria for credit transfer were previously in annex 1).
- School teaching has become longer for young people (from 30 to 32 weeks), and a school certificate now requires that all subjects in the main course are passed, instead of an average of at least 2.0.
- As before, the journeyman's certificate shows the overall grade for the final exam.
- When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
