Royal Decree 490/2026 establishes the new Professional Certificate in Palm Cultivation and Maintenance and modifies the Ecotourism certificate by replacing Annex III of RD 1127/2025 (Art. 2.d). This change updates the curriculum and the Grade A and B offerings for both certificates, aligning them with Organic Law 3/2022 and RD 659/2023. Vocational training institutions must adapt their programmes according to the new curriculum.
