Early Years: DfE’s changes to apprenticeship requirements
DfE's changes to apprenticeship requirements
See message below from the Department for Education:
As part of National Apprenticeships Week, this week the government announced changes to apprenticeship requirements that will grow the skills we need in high demand sectors like early years. This includes introducing greater flexibility over when standalone English and maths qualifications are required for apprentices: from 11 February, apprentices aged 19 years or older are no longer required to hold level 2 English and maths qualifications in order to complete their apprenticeship.
This will allow many thousands more apprentices to complete their apprenticeships and enter employment, supporting vital sectors such as early years to meet skills and workforce demands. It will also open up opportunity for many more potential apprentices currently excluded from apprenticeships due to not already holding English and maths qualifications.
