<p>The role of the Institute for Apprenticeships will be to ensure the quality of
apprenticeship standards.</p><p> </p><p>Apprenticeships will only attract funding
from government or the levy if they are against an approved standard or framework.
Each standard will contain a plan for how the apprenticeship will be assessed. Although
this will be approved by the Institute, the Institute will not assess the apprenticeship
training itself: the register of training providers is owned by the Skills Funding
Agency and Ofsted will continue to inspect providers.</p><p>The Institute will, however,
need to ensure there is consistency between the levels of assessment being applied,
as part of its role in approving standards and assessment plans.</p>
