development
The training regulations for the profession from 1940 are out of date. There is no training regulation with detailed content and modern examination requirements. The Federal Institute for Vocational Training therefore examined these and other professions in 2008 and 2009 before the Vocational Training Act came into force.
In its investigation, the BiBB comes to the conclusion that the pre-polisher manufacture of jewelry and small appliances should be discontinued because the job description is completely contained in the fine polisher and can be integrated there. In the long term, there is no longer any need for this profession.
