This law sets transitional rules for students transitioning from the old to the new format of the Higher Agricultural Technician's Certificate in Water Management. It offers equivalences for those who failed prior exams under the 2011 rules, allowing them to combine scores from prior attempts to meet the completion requirements. A catch-up exam session is scheduled for September 2027, and successful components from this will carry over to the main exam session in 2028.
