Initial vocational training in the construction sector was comprehensively reformed in 2011. Two previously three-and-a-half year training occupations, Technical Product Designer and Technical System Planner, were brought into force with maximum durations of five years, however, since no consensus on length of training could be reached during the training regulation modernisation procedure. On the basis of a BIBB advisory opinion, the appropriateness of the duration of initial vocational training has now been reviewed. The article presents key findings of this advisory opinion.
