ESC challenge How do we support new and existing customers with the biggest reform ever to apprenticeships? employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

Key questions Who is a Levy customer in our community What can the college offer? What are the key messages that need to be shared with our employers? How is a customer locally, and how far is local? What can the college offer in terms of apprenticeships and pricing? Where do we start in sharing key messages? employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

1. Funding bands Every apprenticeship will be placed in a funding band Number Band limit 1 £1,500 2 £2,000 3 £2,500 4 £3,000 5 £3,500 6 £4,000 7 £5,000 8 £6,000 9 £9,000 10 £12,000 11 £15,000 12 £18,000 13 £21,000 14 £24,000 15 £27,000 Every apprenticeship will be placed in a funding band The upper limit of each funding band will cap the maximum: Employers can negotiate the best price for the training they require Employers are free to spend more than the funding limit

Prior qualifications 2. Funding rules - now and in the future Train any individual to undertake an apprenticeship at a higher level than a qualification they already hold An individual can be funded to undertake an apprenticeship at the same or lower level to acquire substantive new skills

3. Additional support for Apprentices Funding for 16-18 year olds Government proposes to 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 proposes to 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. Funding for additional learning support Where an apprentice requires additional learning support as a result of conditions such as dyslexia, learning difficulties or disabilities up to £150 a month Funding for English and Maths training  The government is committed to helping apprentices gain the minimum standard of Level 2 in English and maths.

4. What can funds be used for? Digital funds and government funding can be used for: Digital funds and government funding can not be used for apprenticeship training and assessment against an approved framework or standard with an approved training provider and assessment organisation up to the funding band maximum for that apprenticeship apprentice wages travel and subsistence costs managerial costs traineeships work placement programmes the costs of setting up an apprenticeship programme recruitment costs

5. Co-Investment Government support towards the cost of their Apprenticeships training: A levy-paying employer with insufficient funds in their digital account to pay for the cost of training and assessment they want to purchase The government pays 90% of the costs of training and assessment The employer will be responsible for paying 10% of the costs

How do we communicate? We set up Breakfast Levy events with Reigate & Banstead County Council We addressed employer questions and concerns We set up further Breakfast events We met HR teams and line managers We set us sector specific employer forums We are working with employers in supporting a strategy that combines sector needs and training overall Met employers and asked them what help they needed? We set up Levy forums Dec and March We met with HR teams and discussed training needs and job roles (inc branding apprenticeships in an attractive way) We started matching roles with apprenticeships available We started looking at all opportunities – pre apprenticeship, progressions, career route mapping – far wider than apprenticeships – immediate current vacancies and longer term strategies ageing population, new types of roles, skills gaps We have started gathering significant pace, however….. In identifying a key message about apprenticeships, we noted that employers needed to know more about apprenticeships. What is an Apprenticeship Standard? employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

What is an Apprenticeship Standard, and how does it differ from frameworks? employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

{ Frameworks Competency Qualification Knowledge Qualification Transferable Skills Maths English ICT Personal Learning and Thinking Skills Employment Rights and Responsibilities Or Combined Qualification This slide reminds those in the room of the requirements for the SASE compliant frameworks. These frameworks will continue to exist up to 2020 where a new standard has not been developed. They are gradually being withdrawn as the new standards are released. Every single framework had to meet these requirements employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

Standards Occupation Entry Requirements (only if needed) Requirements: Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) Duration Qualifications if required (inc. English and Maths) Link to Professional Registrations Level Occupation Lists the occupation(s) covered by this apprenticeship standard including any generic job titles used to describe this occupation within the sector. It will also provide context by explaining where the occupation fits within the wider sector(s). If there are a core and options approach, the range of options are also summarised here. Describes briefly what someone who is fully competent in this occupation will be expected to be able to do – their main duties and tasks. Entry Requirements In order to avoid creating barriers to entry, it is not permissible to include entry requirements in a standard unless they are statutory or regulatory requirements. However, some Trailblazers have chosen to include wording such as “Whilst any entry requirements will be a matter for individual employers, typically an apprentice might be expected to have already achieved x, y, and z on entry.” Also, if there is any reason why undertaking this apprenticeships would not be appropriate for a particular age group it would also be stated here. Requirements: Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) This is the core of the apprenticeship standard. There will be a list the KSBs that are required by employers for full competence in this occupation. If there is a core and options approach, this will also list which knowledge and skills are core and which apply to individual options. Duration There will be an indication of the likely duration of the apprenticeship (e.g. “typically 24 months”, or “typically 18-24 months”. If the latter, the range given should not generally span more than 6 months). This must be at least 12 months and a maximum duration will not be stated. Qualifications There is not an expectation for qualifications to be stated in the standard as the standard is focussed on the outcome for the apprentice, not the inputs. However there are exceptions and these will be listed here. This section will also include the maths and English requirements at the end of the apprenticeship. Link to professional registration Apprenticeship standards must link to professional registration where this exists at that level in the occupation. This means that when someone completes an apprenticeship, they have the evidence proving that they have met the level of competence needed to secure professional registration. It is up to the individual whether they choose to become registered. Where relevant, this section should set out which professional registration the apprenticeship standard is designed to meet and the name of the professional body or bodies responsible for maintaining the professional register. Level States the proposed level of the apprenticeship standard (levels 2-7) employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

Assessment Plan for Standard Summary of Assessment Assessment Overview (sets out key assessment information) On Programme Assessment (if applicable) Assessment Gateway End-Point Assessment End Point – Final Judgement Summary of Assessment An introduction, a clear explanation of how the EPA will work and a description of how an apprentice should expect to be assessed. Assessment Overview [set out key assessment information] Assessment Method Area Assessed Assessed by Grading Weighting e.g. Online test What Skills / Knowledge / Behaviour are being assessed? Independent Assessment Organisation Fail/Pass / Distinction 65% e.g. Professional Discussion What Skills / Knowledge / Behaviour are being assessed? Professional Body Fail / Pass Merit / Distinction / 35% On-programme Assessment [if applicable] A brief description of any mandatory qualifications on the standard that must be undertaken as a pre-requisite to taking the EPA. Any recommendations for on-programme assessment should be included in a separate document and not in the assessment plan (see paragraph 104). You may use a hyperlink to such a document which must be freely available to all employers. Assessment Gateway States what will trigger the apprentice being put forward for the EPA States who will make the judgement End-point - Assessment What What skills/knowledge/behaviour are being assessed? This should link to the published standard How States how will the ‘what’ be assessed States what will the apprentice have to do exactly States where will the assessment take place States how will the assessment be undertaken by all employers; regardless of their size Who States who will carry out the assessment and who will be on the Register If there are a number of assessors, such as in a panel arrangement, explains how they will work together and who has the casting vote States if there are there any minimum requirements for assessors? e.g. sector knowledge, assessor qualification, experience? End-point – final judgement States who makes the final decision about whether the apprentice has passed employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

End Point Assessment They should be Synoptic Include a Range of Assessment Methods Be Graded Deliver a constant (reliable) judgement Deliver an accurate (Valid) Judgement Be independent 1.SYNOPTIC ASSESSMENT The end-point assessment (EPA) must be synoptic, which means that it must holistically assess the higher order KSBs from across the standard in an integrated way at the end of the programme. 2. USING A RANGE OF ASSESSMENT METHODS Assessments will need to ensure that apprentices can demonstrate their ability across the standard. This is likely to require mixed methods of assessment. 3.GRADED ASSESSMENTS All apprenticeships should be graded, and should have at least one level above a pass. For example, pass and distinction or pass, merit and distinction. 4. DELIVERING CONSISTENT (RELIABLE) JUDGEMENTS The assessment strategy and tools must ensure that employers can have confidence that apprentices assessed in different parts of the country, at different times, by different assessors have been judged in the same way and have therefore reached the same standard of occupational competence. 5. DELIVERING ACCURATE (VALID) JUDGEMENTS The method of assessment must be appropriate to the content. The assessment methods and tools will need to ensure that the decisions reached on every apprentice are an accurate reflection of their competence. 6. ENSURING INDEPENDENCE It is vital that all apprentices are assessed in a fair and objective manner. This means assessments will either be delivered by an independent third party, or will be delivered in such a way that no party who has been involved in delivery can make the sole decision on competence. The approach must clearly deliver an impartial result. employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

Differences Not all Assessment plans will have the same criteria in the same way that frameworks did eg. NVQ’s – Yes or No? Qualification required – Yes or No? Other specific requirements? employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

Off the Job Training Off the job training is defined as learning which is undertaken outside the normal day-to-day working environment and leads towards the achievement of an apprenticeship. This can include training that is delivered at the apprentice’s normal place of work but must not be delivered as part of their normal working duties. Confirmation that off the job training is training taking place during the hours that the apprentice is being Paid for. Reminder that apprentices must be paid for the time that they attend college. Minimum wage is £3.50 an hour at the moment employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

Includes The teaching of theory (for example, lectures, role playing, simulation exercises, online learning, manufacturer training) Practical training; shadowing; mentoring; industry visits and attendance at competitions Learning support and time spent writing assessments/assignments The teaching of theory is straightforward and can be evidenced via registers Manufacturer training through attendance/CPD certificates. On line learning through logs – but this cannot be on line learning done at home in their own time How do we define shadowing or mentoring? employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316

Does NOT include English and Maths (Up to Level 2) which is funded separately Progress reviews or on programme assessment required for an apprenticeship framework or standard Training which takes place outside the apprentice’s paid working hours employerservices@esc.ac.uk 01737 788316
