As part of the ongoing assignment of training programmes to the German Qualifications Framework (DQR), discussion is currently taking place about the level-assignment of the theory-reduced three-year skilled practitioner qualification pursuant to Section 66 of the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) and Section 42m of the Crafts and Trades Regulation Code (HwO). The article highlights the present situation of these special initial vocational training courses for people with disabilities and looks into what should be done in order to facilitate a valid assignment of the skilled practitioner arrangements to a DQR level.
