<p>Each apprenticeship standard is allocated a funding band based on recommendations
by the independent Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (the Institute).
The Institute uses a wide range of evidence to inform these funding band allocations,
including information from trailblazer groups, training providers and assessment organisations,
and consideration of comparable qualifications such as relevant standards.</p><p>A
longer duration often drives a higher funding band, due to the larger volume of material
delivered in the standard. In this instance, the level 3 Adult Care Worker has a 12-month
duration, compared to a 30- and 36-month duration for Veterinary Nurse and Project
Controls Technician respectively.</p><p>The Institute is improving the transparency
and operation of the funding band recommendation process in 2019-20 and will test
improvements with employers.</p>
