answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>The independent Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA) is responsible for advising on the funding bands for apprenticeships.</p><p>In May 2018, it was announced that the department had commissioned the IfA to review the funding bands of 31 existing standards to ensure that apprenticeships continue to provide quality training which represents value for money for employers and for government. The review has not altered the high quality content of standards. Instead, it has taken older standards that were allocated to funding bands prior to the IfA’s creation through the IfA’s funding band allocation process using the new 30-band structure. This provides consistency in the way that apprenticeships are allocated to funding bands. The reductions to degree apprenticeships for the roles of team leader or supervisor, operations and departmental manager and chartered manager were in line with the IfA’s recommendations as part of the funding band review.</p><p>In addition to considering the IfA’s advice, officials in the department assessed all recommendations from the review to consider the impact on the market, including for providers and apprentices. These assessments form part of internal policy advice.</p><p>The IfA’s recommendations followed extensive employer engagement. The IfA is responsible for managing employer engagement with the reviews, however we have also received one representation from an employer representative body concerning these standards.</p><p>The department will continue to work with the IfA to ensure that funding bands are appropriate and will monitor the impact of these changes once they come into effect.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton grouped question UIN 202047 202048 202049 question first answered 18/12/2018 18:32:31 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>The rise in numbers of apprenticeship starts at higher levels (4 and above) is good news - showing a healthier balance across all levels, helping people progress to higher skills. 90 per cent of starts remain at levels 2 and 3.</p><p>The apprenticeship system has deliberately been designed to be employer-led. Employers are best placed to understand their own skills needs and to choose the apprenticeships to develop their own talent – whether that involves recruiting new people or re-training and upskilling existing staff.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 23/07/2018 13:12:07 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
