answer text <p>All employers with a pay bill greater than £3,000,000 will be in scope of the apprenticeships levy, including those in the construction and engineering construction sectors. We are working with the Industry Training Boards to understand how their existing arrangements will be affected. They will be consulting with their members in advance of the introduction of the apprenticeships levy on whether they should continue to pay the industry levy and if so, how it should be combined with the national apprenticeship levy. We are also working with other sectors, where there are existing collective training arrangements about what the apprenticeships levy means to them.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Ofqual published an impact assessment on A level reform in November 2012. This can be found on GOV.UK: <a href="http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140813095715/http://ofqual.gov.uk/qualifications-and-assessments/qualification-reform/a-level-reform/" target="_blank">http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140813095715/http://ofqual.gov.uk/qualifications-and-assessments/qualification-reform/a-level-reform/</a>.</p><br /><p>This assessment found that AS levels do not play a significant role in admissions processes, for most universities. It is for individual higher education institutions to determine their own admission arrangements.</p><br /><p>We are working with universities and UCAS to ensure universities are informed of the changes to AS and A Levels when they make decisions about those arrangements.</p> more like this
