Version 4 of our guidance has just been published.

It can be read here:

This version focuses on:

  • Confirmation that apprenticeship training and assessment can continue in line with the new safer working guidance
  • Information on extending the transition period onto the apprenticeship service for non-levy employers
  • Additional detail on the furlough scheme
  • Examples of how to calculate wages for a furloughed apprentice
  • Further FAQs covering Off-the-job training
  • Latest content on the existing support available to redundant apprentices
  • Functional Skills

We will be setting up a series of webinars next week where the policy authors will go through the changes and take part in a question and answer session.

The webinars will enable us to listen to your views and capture your valuable insight.
