What you need to know about the policy context, practical impacts and next steps.
Overview
Prepare for changes in apprenticeship assessment and ensure you are ready to take advantage of new approaches in this practical session for providers, employers and awarding organisations.
In this session, you’ll gain a sector-wide perspective from AELP, outlining the apprenticeship policy context and key drivers behind recent reforms. You’ll then learn what these changes mean in practice, informed by real engagement with training providers, employers and awarding organisations.
You’ll also explore the benefits and challenges of the new approach, and how to maintain yours and your employer’s consistency, confidence and quality.
