Specification of Apprenticeship Standards

Skills for Health has welcomed the announcement by FE, Skills and Lifelong Learning Minister John Hayes of new measures to guarantee the quality of the Government's flagship Apprenticeship programme, ensuring every apprenticeship delivers training that directly meets the needs of employers and learners. The Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England will ensure that:

  • All apprenticeships deliver high quality, nationally-recognised qualifications relevant to the skill, trade or occupation of the learner and employer
  • All apprenticeships offer individuals appropriate training to achieve a good standard of literacy and numeracy (and ICT where relevant to the skill, trade or occupation); 
  • Every apprentice will receive at least 280 hours of guided learning per year.
