Repealed 1978 business-consultant licensing regulation: exam-procedure text and metadata added
The digital record of this regulation — repealed since 5 February 1998 — was updated to include previously missing exam-procedure provisions and refreshed metadata. The changes document what was required for the written and oral qualification exam when the regulation was in force.
What changed
Two substantive additions were made to §2: the written exam section now specifies that candidates receive 4 tasks and must choose 2, with an expected working time of 6 hours and a hard stop at 7 hours. A new §2(3) states that the oral exam must cover both business/professional knowledge and legal knowledge, and must last at least 30 minutes but no more than one hour (except in justified cases). In §4, the word 'or' (oder) was explicitly inserted between the four qualification-pathway alternatives. Metadata was also refreshed: last-updated date, source URL, subject classification ('50/01 Gewerbeordnung'), and an expanded short title.
Who is affected
Anyone researching qualifications or credentials that were issued under this regulation before it was repealed in 1998. The regulation no longer creates any current obligations.
What to look out for
The regulation was repealed on 5 February 1998 by BGBl. II Nr. 34/1998 and has not been in force since then. These changes are of purely historical interest and have no effect on current licensing requirements for business consultants.
