This document provides information about apprenticeship reforms in the UK, including plans to increase apprenticeship numbers, introduce employer-designed standards to replace frameworks, and implement an apprenticeship levy on large employers. Key points include introducing employer-led trailblazers to design new apprenticeship standards, simplifying standards, requiring end-point assessments, and giving employers more control over apprenticeship funding through a digital account. The reforms aim to make apprenticeships more responsive to employer needs and improve quality. Details are provided about the apprenticeship levy implementation, including how funds will be collected by HMRC and spent via a digital account.
This document provides an overview of recent reforms to apprenticeship funding in England, including:
- The rationale for the reforms is to make apprenticeships more employer-driven, simple, and high-quality.
- Funding will now be partially controlled by employers through a digital voucher system. Employers with over a certain payroll will pay a levy that is used to fund training.
- Final funding levels were announced on October 25th, 2016 and include higher funding for STEM apprenticeships, longer periods for employers to spend funds, and continued support for disadvantaged apprentices.
More than half of all apprenticeship starts in 2014/15 were in business, administration, and health and social care. There were nearly 500,000 apprenticeship starts that year, an increase of 14% from the previous year. The government aims to reach 3 million apprenticeship starts by 2020 to boost skills and productivity. Employers will have more control over apprenticeship content and funding under new proposed reforms, with funding going directly to employers who will choose providers. Simplifying standards and improving quality are priorities to increase the esteem of apprenticeships.

The document discusses the UK government's new apprenticeship levy that will take effect in 2017. The levy will require businesses with an annual pay bill over £3 million to contribute 0.5% of their pay bill to fund apprenticeship programs. Employers can receive funding for approved apprenticeship training through electronic vouchers. While businesses under the £3 million threshold will not directly pay into the levy, they will be expected to contribute 10% of apprenticeship training costs, with the government covering the remaining 90%. The government is also providing a 10% top up on monthly levy contributions for one year to help cover additional training expenses.

Responsible Individual Training - F5 Foster Care.pptxThe Pathway Group
An independent fostering agency must have a registered provider and a responsible individual (RI) who represents the organization to Ofsted. The RI is accountable for ensuring legislation is implemented and has responsibilities in relation to managers, staff, children, and foster carers. The RI must follow the applicable National Minimum Standards and ensure the welfare of children in care.

Birmingham College is looking for new partner organizations to support bids and tenders across various markets including employment, skills, business support, justice, and youth. As an established skills provider, Birmingham College wants to explore partnership opportunities with other established organizations that have experience delivering skills training in priority industry sectors. Birmingham College's mission is to enhance knowledge, develop skills, and change behaviors to positively transform communities.
the original content of the 1973 TPS manual1 was written by
the staff2 of Toyota Motor Corp. (OMCD - Operations Management Consulting Division.
By 1970, Toyota had a fairly stable production system internally and they made a decision to
assist suppliers by sharing their knowledge and skills. To do this, Toyota created a special
internal improvement group called Production Research Division (later renamed Operations
Management Consulting Division – OMCD)
his 1973 manual was also used as course materials by Ohno and his team – the Japanese
Management Association compiled their workshop materials and released it as a book in the
1978. Productivity Press translated it and released it as Kanban: Just-in-time at Toyota in
1986. While much of the Productivity Press book consists of the same materials as the 1973
TPS Manual, it is not presented in the same order.

End point assessment organizations (EPAOs) administer the independent end point assessments for apprenticeships. EPAOs ensure apprentices have gained the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors outlined in each apprenticeship standard. Ofqual regulates EPAOs for most apprenticeships, while the Office for Students regulates degree apprenticeship assessments. EPAOs use a variety of assessment methods, such as practical assessments, interviews, tests, and projects, to evaluate apprentices at the end of their training.

2. WHY? Rationale for Reforms
Rationale for Reforms
Employer Driven
Employers designing
apprenticeships to make
them more responsive to
their needs and the future
economy, and controlling
funding
Simplicity
Simplifying apprenticeship
standards so that they are
shorter and more accessible
Quality
Improving the quality of
apprenticeships so that
they are viewed with the
same esteem as University
3. Apprenticeship Funding and the
Changes planned
Provider
control
• Provider funded for delivery of Specification of Apprenticeship
Standards for England (SASE) framework
• Employer contribution expected but not always collected
Transition
• Employers have more control over content of Standards
• Funding partially to employer (incentives) and provider
• Employer contribution in cash
Employer
control
• Content and delivery controlled by employer
• Large employers pay 0.5% paybill tax as levy with a 10% top-up
• Employer uses digital voucher to pay for training and assessment
3
4. Final funding levels announced on
the 25/10/16 include:
• Higher funding for STEM apprenticeship frameworks and
higher pricing of apprenticeship standards to support
improved quality, and greater flexibility to train those with
prior qualifications;
• Longer period of time for employers to spend funds in their
digital account, now with 24 months before they expire, an
increase from our original proposal of just 18 months;
• There is a commitment to introducing the ability for
employers to transfer digital funds to other employers in
their supply chains, sector or to apprenticeship training
agencies in 2018
• A 90 per cent contribution from government to the cost of
training for employers that will not pay the levy; meaning a
contribution of 10% for SMEs
5. Final funding levels announced on
the 25/10/16 include:
• A 100 per cent contribution from the government to the cost of training for
small employers, that will not pay the levy and who take on apprentices who
are 16 to 18 years old, 19 to 24 year old care leavers, or 19 to 24 year olds
with an education and health care plan;
• £1,000 each from government to employers and training providers when
they take on 16 to 18-year-olds, 19 to 24-year-olds who were in care or who
have an education and health care plan;
• Help for training providers to adapt to the new, simpler funding model
through an additional cash payment equal to 20 per cent of the funding band
maximum where they train 16 to 18 year olds on frameworks; and
• A simplified version of the current system of support for people from
disadvantaged areas, to ensure the opportunity to undertake an
apprenticeship is open to everyone, no matter where in England they live,
their background or family circumstances.
• an important intervention from the new apprenticeships minister, Robert
Halfon.
6. Subcontracting saved in final
apprenticeship plans
The proposals published in August stated that the main provider would need to
directly deliver at least half the training for each apprentices.
• However, it has been announced that “At the employer’s request, and
subject to their agreement, main providers will be able to bring in
subcontractors to deliver whole, or parts of, frameworks or standards.”
At the moment we are not sure what evidence will be required for
this.
• Nevertheless the main provider will have to directly delver some of the
training for each employers apprenticeship programme – but will this will
not need to be significant proportion.
• Providers with contract values below £100k will now not have to join the
register (however, they still can apply if they wish to) – this requirement
appears to have been dropped in the latest document release.
• The document released on the 25/10/16 states: “For the time being, we will
retain the threshold, which means that organisations who want to deliver
less than £100k of apprenticeship training per year as a subcontractor will
not need to apply.”
7. Disadvantage Uplifts
• In the original proposal it was anticipated that
Disadvantage uplifts would go.
• Which would have been circa 32% additional
funding for those living in the most deprived areas
being removed.
• As reported in the FE Week the Apprenticeship
Minister as stated that that the government will be
“investing £60 million in supporting the training of
apprentices from the poorest areas in the country to
ensure social mobility for all.”
8. Disadvantage Uplifts
According to government sources
• “Overall, government will make available at least the same amount on
disadvantage payments as under the current system of more complex uplifts”
• “These payments will come direct from the government and will not be deducted
from an employer’s digital account”
• “This will be in place for the first year while we review the best ways of ensuring
apprenticeships provide equal opportunity to all, regardless of their circumstances.
This review will look at the role of employers, as well as training providers, and the
differences in approach that may be needed in different parts of the country. We
will work with Opportunity Areas to develop and test different approaches”
Deprived Area as applied in
the Index of multiple
Deprivation
Uplift
Apprentice who lives in Top 10% Deprived Area £600
Apprentice who lives in the next 10% Next 11-20% Deprived Area £300
Those Apprentices in the next 7% Next 21-27% Deprived Area £200
9. Proposals in August Final Policy
Expiry of digital funds after 18 months Extended to 24 months – helping employers to prepare
for the new system and to adapt training programmes
Support for 16-18 year old apprentices -
£1000 payment to employers and training
providers
Retaining the £1000 payments plus extra government
funding to provide a transitional 20% uplift for providers
training 16-18 year olds on a framework. Also applies to
19-24 year olds formerly in care or have a Education and
Health Care plan
Removal of disadvantage uplift Retain a simplified version of current system for one
year to support those from disadvantaged areas whilst
review best way to support disadvantaged groups
Key changes since August
• In August, we published our proposals for apprenticeship
funding. Since then, we have been listening to employers,
training providers and other stakeholders to help us
develop our final position. The adjustments we have made
will help ensure that the reforms benefit more employers
and apprentices.

who will benefit from
government support towards the
cost of their apprenticeships

• Employers who haven’t paid the
levy and want to purchase
apprenticeship training from a
provider
• A levy-paying employer who with
insufficient funds in their digital
account to pay for the cost of
training and assessment they want
to purchase
• The government will pay 90% of
the costs of training and
assessment.
• The employer will be responsible
for paying 10% of the costs.
Government

16. We will allocate each individual framework pathway to:
• the nearest funding band based on the current rate of funding the government
pays providers for training adult apprentices but with some extra support…
Funding bands for frameworks
16
16-18 uplift
• Transitional support of 20% of funding band
maximum paid directly to training providers
• Also applies to 19-24 year olds formerly in care
or have Education and Health Care plan
STEM Support
Additional support in
areas of disadvantage
• For all STEM framework pathways we will increase
the current government-funded adult rate by 40% at
Level 2 and 80% at Level 3 and above, and then
allocate these frameworks to the nearest funding
band.
Training providers receive:
• An additional £600 for training an apprentice
from top 10% of deprived areas, £300 for next
10% range and £200 for the next 7% range
17. Apprenticeship standards are employer-designed and offer employers and apprentices a
more robust and relevant training experience.
Recognised in the funding system by allocating higher funding bands to apprenticeship
standards, relative to equivalent frameworks, where appropriate.
Funding bands for standards
Principles
•Lower cost standards should be allocated to the nearest funding band
•Those standards currently assigned to the widest and highest cost funding band will be allocated to a new
band within this range. Taking into account:
•Actual prices employers have negotiated with providers.
•Evidence from Trailblazer employers on the estimated costs eligible apprenticeship training
•The funding bands set for equivalent frameworks
•The level and nature of the training, and consistency across similar types of apprenticeship standard.
Existing apprenticeship standards have been allocated to new funding bands according to
the following principles:
18. 16-18 year olds
Government will pay £1,000 to employers,
and a further £1,000 to training providers if
they train a 16-18 year old apprentice
Disadvantaged young people
Government will pay £1,000 to employers,
and a further £1,000 to training providers if
they train 19-24 year olds leaving care or who
have a Local Authority Education and
Healthcare plan
Additional learning support
We will pay training providers up to £150 a
month to support these learners, plus
additional costs based on evidenced need
English and Maths training
To meet minimum standards of English and
maths we will pay training providers £471 for
each of these qualifications (Level 1 and 2)
Small Employers
Employers with fewer than 50 employees will
have 100% of the training and assessment costs
covered when training a 16-18 year old (or 19-24
year old formerly in care or has a Local Authority
Education, Health and Care plan
Additional Support
19. Prior Qualifications
Now and in the future, you can train any
individual to undertake an apprenticeship at a
higher level than a qualification they already
hold.
From May 2017, an individual can be funded
to undertake an apprenticeship at the same
or lower level to acquire substantive new
skills
Cross-border funding
Applying a single test for funding through the
English system: based on whether the
apprentice’s main place of employment is
England.
‘Workplace’ is where the apprentice is
expected to spend the majority of their time
during their apprenticeship.
Transferring funding
During 2018 the Government will introduce
means for employers to transfer up to 10% of
the levy funds to another employer with a
digital account, or to an ATA.
New employer steering group to design this
system so that it meets their needs
Funding rules
20. Contracts
• Once a provider has been selected by an
employer to deliver training to their
apprentices, they will need to negotiate costs
ensuring contracts are in place so that the
funding can flow.
• The costs for end point assessments will be
included in the total price for the
apprenticeship agreed with the employer.
• Providers will be required to pass this
agreed amount on to the assessment
organisation selected by the employer.

The Hard Facts
Please note:
• Disadvantage uplifts have been protected and range from £200 - £600 for those qualifying
• Extra 20 per cent of funding band limit for 16-18 year-olds (in addition to the £1,000 provider and
£1,000 employer incentive)
For 16-18 year olds the position is worse however, this is offset by
Employer and Training Providers each being paid £1,000 in the form
off an age grant for this group (SMEs Only) . (Although we can not confirm all
the eligibility criteria at this stage)

Editor's Notes
To ensure apprenticeships are more rigorous and responsive to the needs of employers following Richard Review. The Reform programme is set out in The Future of Apprenticeships in England; Implementation Plan, published in October 2013.
The main aims:
Put employers in the driving seat. Apprenticeships will be based on standards designed by employers.
Increase the quality of apprenticeships. An apprentice will need to demonstrate their competence through rigorous and synoptic assessment. This will focus on the end of the apprenticeship to ensure that the apprentice is ready to progress.
Simplify the system. The new employer-designed standards will be short and easy to understand. They will describe the skills and knowledge that an individual needs to be fully competent in an occupation.
