Development of competence-oriented training regulations

In June 2014, a BIBB Board Recommendation on the competence-oriented formulation of training regulations entered into force based on the definition of competence contained within the German Qualifications Framework (DQR). This was applied in regulatory procedures for the first time in 2015. Starting with a description of the formal changes to general conditions, the article takes the occupation of roller shutter and sunshade mechatronics technician as an example to look at the nature of areas of action, self-contained activities and competence dimensions. Results are compared with the ordinance from 2004 and categorised with regard to further developments and areas of conflict.
