There are certain bodies which identify the need for new apprenticeships or to develop existing apprenticeships, to make sure they meet the needs of employers.
This may include: Sector Skills Councils (SSC); sector skills organisations (SSO) and apprenticeship developers who consult with SDS.
If you have developed an apprenticeship framework that needs approved by the Apprenticeship Approvals Group (AAG), please follow the guidelines and submissions timetable below.
All submissions should include:
- a completed proposal document
- a completed framework document
- core skills mapping (if not separately certificated)
- and be sent to Apprenticeship Approvals Group Secretariat
The Submission will be reviewed by the AAG Sub-group in the first instance, with feedback given from this group before full submission to the Apprenticeship Approvals Group.
