Drivers of road vehicles must complete distance or in-person training within 6 months, with 6-month adaptation period

The Real Decree 487/2026 revokes the Resolution of 23 July 2020 and modifies driver training regulations, requiring distance or in-person training. A new Chapter IX on continuous training is added and the Directive (UE) 2022/2561 is transposed. Training deadlines are set at 6 months from entry into force (art. 2, 4, 11, 18, 20, 21).

In 3 key points

  1. The Resolution of 23 July 2020 is repealed (art. 2)
  2. A 6-month deadline is established to complete the training (art. 4, 11, 18, 20, 21)
  3. Chapter IX on continuous training is added (art. 2)

Drivers must complete their training within 6 months, necessitating a change in their training schedules. Transport companies must update their training programmes and ensure drivers meet the new deadlines. Road safety advisors must provide information regarding the new requirements and training channels. Competent authorities must manage the transition and verify compliance.
