between the different countries. This is also applicable within the EU member states. It seems that despite a new regulation the differences will remain. “Tourism” is however going to be banned.

- These are the following changes proposed:• training: number of hours, course content review and update

• Examination: review exam types and make it more difficult

• Course materials: review and update course materials

• Instructors: updates in training and upskilling

• Pricing is likely to increase
