Agricultural firms: 3 months to implement new palm cultivation professional certificate

Royal Decree 490/2026 introduces the Professional Certificate in Palm Cultivation and Work, updating the Ecotourism certificate by replacing Annex III of RD 1127/2025 (art. 2.d). The curriculum and degree offerings for levels A and B are aligned with Law 3/2022 and Royal Decree 659/2023. Training institutions must adjust their programmes accordingly.

In 2 key points

  1. A professional certification in palm cultivation establishes curricula and degree offerings A and B (art. 2.d)
  2. Annex III of Royal Decree 1127/2025 is replaced by the new curriculum (art. 2.d)

How it affects those involved

Agricultural training centres must update their curricula and degree offerings A and B according to the new content. Eco-tourism centres must review Annex III to align with the new structure. No direct impact on non-agricultural workers or businesses.
