What it regulates

Establishes prevention training, self-assessment and certification for household workers. Training takes place through eFundae and distinguishes a participation certificate from an achievement diploma according to completion of checks and their results. It implements Royal Decree 893/2024 without replacing household risk assessment or supplementary training for exceptional risks.

Who it applies to

Workers within the special household-service employment relationship. This record covers paragraphs one to six; the appeal route in paragraph seven is included only as procedural context.

Key provisions

Its purpose is to implement training and self-assessment under additional provision five of Royal Decree 893/2024, together with certification of completion.

First provision

Seven activities are identified: cleaning; preparing and serving food and drinks; driving; caring for people; night or live-in work; handling pets; and gardening. The first five are identified as more relevant.

Second provision

The designated platform is eFundae, managed by Fundae. The resolution does not assign management of this general training to each employing household.

Third provision

Training must include progress checks and self-assessment of learning in each activity, carried out on the platform itself.

Fourth provision

Completing 75% of the periodic checks allows the activity to be treated as completed and a participation certificate to be obtained. Positive assessment in 75% of the checks allows an achievement diploma to be obtained.

Fifth provision

The document must identify at least the training activity, content, duration and issue date. It becomes available on eFundae from completion of the activity.

Fifth provision

Transitional provisions and application notes

  • The resolution was published on 15 May 2026 and takes effect from 16 May 2026, under paragraph six.

    Sixth provision
  • This is not the start date of the general right to protection. Royal Decree 893/2024 coordinates enforceability with six months from availability of the prevention tool and with the training resolution; it does not set an additional six-month period from this resolution.

    Official reference
  • General training is a single course even where the worker has several employers. Supplementary training for exceptional risks in a household is the employer’s responsibility under Article 5.3 of Royal Decree 893/2024.

    Official reference
  • A participation certificate must not be confused with an achievement diploma, and no universal duration should be invented: the resolution requires the activity’s duration to be stated but does not set one number of hours for all activities.

    Fifth provision
  • Paragraph seven provides an administrative appeal; the stated month runs from notification of the express decision being challenged. It must not be presented as a one-month deadline to finish training.

    Seventh provision
