  • What changes:
    • The training gets a purpose about sustainable solutions.
    • Admission to school-based instruction in the main programme still requires a final grade of at least 0.2 (written as 02 in the old notation) in the subject specific to the training in the basic programme.
    • Which basic subjects and certificates are required is now set out in the training regulations.
    • The rules for the school certificate have been rewritten: as before, an average grade of at least 2.0 (previously written as 02) is required across all subjects in the main programme.
    • It remains unchanged that all partial exams and the final exam must be passed.
  • Who: The rules apply to pupils and apprentices on the greenkeeper vocational training programme, except those who started the training before the executive order enters into force.
  • When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
