Raising standards for Apprenticeships and reforming 
vocational qualifications 
Jeremy Benson, Executive Director for Vocational Qualifications, Ofqual 
6 November 2014
Objectives of this session 
To explain… 
How assessments and qualifications fit into apprenticeships 
Ofqual’s new regulatory approach to vocational qualifications 
Our work on the reformed apprenticeships
How assessments and qualifications fit into 
apprenticeships 
Existing frameworks defined mostly by reference to 
qualifications 
Ofqual regulates the component qualifications but not 
apprenticeships overall 
Reduced focus on qualifications in the reformed apprenticeships 
is a strength – more on achievement of employer-defined 
standards by the end of the apprenticeship 
But assessments still need to be valid, including where they are 
graded 
Challenge of recognising achievement of important “soft” or 
generic skills, such as teamwork
Ofqual’s new regulatory approach to 
vocational qualifications 
Focus on qualification validity – whether results can be used by 
those that rely on them meaningfully and appropriately 
Validity cannot be judged at a single point in time – all stages 
need to be right 
We are proposing to remove the QCF rules that most 
apprenticeship qualifications were designed to meet 
Risk-based validity audits of awarding organisations ongoing 
We are improving information and data about qualifications 
Need to understand wider pressures on qualifications, and 
seeking to influence where we can
Our work on the reformed apprenticeships 
in England 
Advising Government on assessment and grading issues 
Planning for the regulation of apprenticeship end-point 
assessments 
“Quality assurance, like the assessments themselves, needs to be independent of 
those who lead on the design and delivery of assessment and have robust processes 
to maintain quality of assessment over time. We are open to different approaches to 
quality assurance of assessments in apprenticeships, and would welcome proposals 
for employer, professional body and sector led approaches. Alternatively, if standard 
setters would like their assessments to be regulated by Ofqual, then they are welcome 
to do so.” – Apprenticeship Trailblazer Guidance, October 2014 
Discussing with trailblazers their needs and aspirations around 
assessments 
Considering implications for the wider qualifications market of 
the apprenticeship reforms
Any questions?

Westminster Forum: The future for Apprenticeships in England: Trailblazers, funding reform and engaging employers

  • 1. Raising standards for Apprenticeships and reforming vocational qualifications Jeremy Benson, Executive Director for Vocational Qualifications, Ofqual 6 November 2014
  • 2. Objectives of this session To explain… How assessments and qualifications fit into apprenticeships Ofqual’s new regulatory approach to vocational qualifications Our work on the reformed apprenticeships
  • 3. How assessments and qualifications fit into apprenticeships Existing frameworks defined mostly by reference to qualifications Ofqual regulates the component qualifications but not apprenticeships overall Reduced focus on qualifications in the reformed apprenticeships is a strength – more on achievement of employer-defined standards by the end of the apprenticeship But assessments still need to be valid, including where they are graded Challenge of recognising achievement of important “soft” or generic skills, such as teamwork
  • 4. Ofqual’s new regulatory approach to vocational qualifications Focus on qualification validity – whether results can be used by those that rely on them meaningfully and appropriately Validity cannot be judged at a single point in time – all stages need to be right We are proposing to remove the QCF rules that most apprenticeship qualifications were designed to meet Risk-based validity audits of awarding organisations ongoing We are improving information and data about qualifications Need to understand wider pressures on qualifications, and seeking to influence where we can
  • 5. Our work on the reformed apprenticeships in England Advising Government on assessment and grading issues Planning for the regulation of apprenticeship end-point assessments “Quality assurance, like the assessments themselves, needs to be independent of those who lead on the design and delivery of assessment and have robust processes to maintain quality of assessment over time. We are open to different approaches to quality assurance of assessments in apprenticeships, and would welcome proposals for employer, professional body and sector led approaches. Alternatively, if standard setters would like their assessments to be regulated by Ofqual, then they are welcome to do so.” – Apprenticeship Trailblazer Guidance, October 2014 Discussing with trailblazers their needs and aspirations around assessments Considering implications for the wider qualifications market of the apprenticeship reforms
