Royal Decree 144/2026 establishes a new Higher Level Vocational Training specialisation course in the deployment of software products in containers, aligned with the national catalogue of qualifications (Art. 116 of R.D. 659/2023). This course is incorporated into the vocational training curriculum for IT, expanding the technical competencies offered in this field. The regulation does not introduce direct obligations for companies, but requires training institutions to update their curricula within the established timeframe.

In 2 key points

  1. New specialisation course in containerised software deployment (art. 116 del R.D. 659/2023)
  2. 3-month deadline to adapt the curriculum in training centres (art. 116 del R.D. 659/2023)

How it affects those involved

Vocational training institutions must update their curricula to include the new course within 3 months. IT professionals and educational centres will benefit from a more specialised offering. Training advisors must review study plans and ensure centres comply with the new curriculum. There is no direct impact on companies or employees currently in work.
