In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • What changes:
    • Goals, basic subjects, certificates, credit transfer and the journeyman's examination are no longer described in the executive order itself.
    • They now refer to the training scheme.
    • The purpose of the training has also been rewritten, and the two parts of the basic course are set at 20 weeks each.
    • The old sentence saying that the basic course cannot be replaced by basic practical training in a company has been removed.
    • At the same time, the requirement that the examination is individual and that all examinations are assessed on the 7-point scale has been removed.
  • Who: The rules apply to pupils and apprentices in the vocational training programme for watchmakers. Pupils and apprentices on euv2 are exempt from certain subject-specific competences that the training scheme specifies.
  • When: The executive order entered into force on 1 August 2026.
