The guidelines of the State-Regions Conference on apprenticeship focus on the regional training which, according to the Consolidation Act of 2011, can not last more than 40 hours per year. The agreement has changed this limit as follows: 120 hours of training (i.e., 40 hours per year) for apprentices without title, with primary license or with only secondary school license; 80 hours for apprentices with a secondary school diploma or qualification and finally 40 hours for apprentices with a university degree or equivalent title.
