Representatives from training providers, the CDI and Careers England will attend and one of the recommendations will be that the Standard be reviewed instead of retired. We shall keep you informed and please feel free to raise your own concerns and share with other professionals across the sector.

Apprenticeship funding band changes Following on from yesterdays flurry of posts about funding band changes to ODM (new name - operations manager) and Team Leader Supervisor, please find enclosed the link the full list of funding band changes (published 8 August): https://lnkd.in/ev-nb7tw And a reminder to all EpAOs, make sure you review the quality assurance sections of any revised assessment plans, as you may well find changes to assessor requirements (the tendency is to focus on the changes to the KSBs / assessments methods which risks missing the changes to assessor requirements)

Weak overall achievement rates have become an unwelcome but persistent feature of the #apprenticeship market. With the DfE reportedly trialling alternative apprenticeships assessments, Think undertook research with the support of Gatsby, that explored the extent to which issues with EPA contribute to low achievement rates and within that, to understand the role of employers, apprentices and providers in supporting completion.  Interesting read on FE News with a link to the full report. #skills #training #policy #education
