AELP’s Response to Ofqual’s Regulatory
Framework Consultation
AELP Submission
AELP Response
Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) welcomes the opportunity to respond to Ofqual’s consultation. Our members have identified several critical considerations that must be addressed to ensure that changes to assessment arrangements are fair, consistent, and workable for providers, employers, and learners. AELP’s consultation response incorporates the views of our members, both providers and assessment organisations, who have provided feedback during roundtables, webinars and our recent assessment reform survey.
AELP believes that the apprenticeship assessment reforms should focus on improving, rather than complicating, the system. This means any proposed changes should be evaluated against five key criteria:
- Cost – Are we reducing financial burden or adding to it?
- Complexity – Does this make the process simpler or more convoluted?
- Consistency – Will this lead to more uniform outcomes across the board?
- Capacity – Are we enabling additional assessor capacity to deliver effectively, or stretching the system further?
- Clarity – Is the purpose and process of the assessment clearly understood?
