In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • What changes:
    • Many requirements for the programme have been moved to a training order.
    • This covers training goals, programme-specific competences, basic subjects, certificates, competence goals for the main phase, and credit transfer.
    • The old competence goals and competence areas have been removed from the executive order.
    • The executive order has a new purpose, and the rule on the journeyman's examination has been rewritten, so the detailed organisation is now set out in the training order.
  • Who: The rules apply to pupils and apprentices on the production and assembly programme. Pupils and apprentices who started or transferred to the programme before the executive order enters into force follow the rules that applied before.
  • When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
