In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • What changes:
    • Many of the requirements for the training are now set out in a training scheme instead of directly in the executive order.
    • The training still has three stages, as it did before.
    • At stage 1, the test is a journeyman's examination, and as before it is only taken by apprentices who finish the training at stage 1.
    • The test at stage 2 is taken, as before, by all apprentices at that stage, regardless of whether they continue to the next stage.
    • The requirement for getting a school certificate is now that the apprentice must have at least 2.0 on average and at least 02 in the final test.
    • Before, it simply said that the apprentice had to have at least a passing grade.
  • When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
