How do the new Apprenticeship Standards work? Image by Photographer's Name (Credit in black type) or Image by Photographer's Name (Credit in white type) Illustration by Kanae Sato Illustration by Ben Wiseman How do the new Apprenticeship Standards work? In summary there are three parts to the new standards apprenticeship: Development towards the relevant standard Gateway review when the learner is signed off by the employer as being at the right level to undertake the end-point assessment End-Point Assessment when the learner undertakes a synoptic assessment to demonstrate competence What is different to SASE? SASE largely was a funding stream including qualifications and qualifications are not compulsory in most Trailblazer apprenticeships The content of SASE was devised by Sector Skills Councils whereas the new standards are devised by Employers The assessment of competence is through End-Point Assessment. Formative assessment during the programme cannot contribute to this judgement.

Education and Training/ Learning and Development Three Apprenticeship standards have been approved but are not yet available to deliver: FE Learning Mentor (Level 3) FE Assessor-coach (Level 4) FE Learning and Skills Teacher (Level 5) All have a mandatory qualification in Safeguarding, being developed by Pearson. The level 5 standard includes as mandatory the Diploma in Education and Training. Learning and Development Two Apprenticeship standards have been approved for development but are not yet published: Learning and Development Practitioner (Level 3) Learning and Development Consultant/ Business Partner (Level 5)

Teaching Assistant Standards One standard has been approved but is not yet ready for delivery: Teaching Assistant (Level 3) The group are in the process of finalising the assessment plan and gaining agreement from Ofqual for Quality Assurance. There are no compulsory qualifications in this framework although the Level 3 Diploma for Specialist Teaching and Learning can be delivered alongside it. In addition, the Trailblazer group are starting the development of a level 2 Teaching Assistant standard.

Other Standards Approval has been given for standards in the following: School Business Manager/ Director Two standards are being developed by employers, one at level 4 and one at level 6. These have been out for consultation Careers Guidance Approval has recently been given to an employer group to develop a level 6 standard for Careers Guidance professionals Teacher Standards and an assessment plan written by an employer group have been out for consultation for a level 6 Teaching standard for graduates.

DET review date is 31 July 2018 and a review is currently being carried out to ensure that this qualification is fit for purpose for the future.

Assessor and Verifier Qualifications The current proposal is that all of the qualifications in these suites are extended to 2020. Guidance is being put together about how to use these qualifications to support Trailblazer apprenticeship and other non-accredited assessment Current position is that we need more experience of the new apprenticeship standards to know exactly what will be needed in the future. However, the basic principles of assessment have not changed so for the time being the qualifications develop the skills required by different types of assessor Indications are that assessor qualifications will still be needed/ will potentially expand in the future We are very concerned about transferability between different assessor roles and acceptability between Awarding Organisations for assessors in the future.
