#BGBl. 2025 I Nr. 288Regulation on the Transfer of Authorization to Issue Examination Regulations by the Central Office of the Federal Employment Agency
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation, dated 25 November 2025 and published in the Federal Law Gazette on 28 November 2025, formally transfers the legal authority to issue examination regulations (Prüfungsordnungen) from the responsible federal ministry to the central headquarters of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency). It is issued under the leadership of the Federal Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs. The regulation creates an internal administrative delegation that allows the Agency's central office to independently establish standardized rules for vocational examinations and certifications it oversees. This change streamlines bureaucratic processes within Germany's dual vocational training system by empowering the Agency to directly regulate examination procedures, content standards, and certification requirements without needing repeated ministerial approvals for each new or amended regulation.
