In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • What changes:
    • The training for gourmet butcher has a new purpose, and the training can still be completed with stage 1 (gourmet butcher) or with one of the specialisations at stage 2.
    • Requirements for admission and credit transfer now refer to the training scheme instead of being set out in the executive order itself.
    • As before, there is a journeyman's test at stage 1, which is held by the trade committee and only has to be taken by apprentices who complete the training at stage 1.
    • When completing at stage 1, the trade committee now issues a journeyman's certificate instead of the school's training certificate.
  • When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
