Apprenticeship providers’ qualification achievement rates could soon be improved after the government changed its funding rules around breaks in employment.
New English and maths flexibilities have also been extended to apprentices currently on-programme, while a controversial rule that put funding at risk where apprentices drop-out without making enough progress towards their planned training has been removed.
The changes have finally been revealed in version one of the apprenticeship funding rules for 2022/23 published today by the Education and Skills Funding Agency. It follows the draft rules released in May.
