Apprenticeship Units launched in April 2026. With new compliance risks, our webinar helps providers design and implement compliant offers.
New products and new programmes bring with them risk and compliance will remain a key challenge for providers as Units embed within their provision. That’s why we’ve designed a new webinar specific to Apprenticeship Unit compliance taking in the learner journey and funding rules to provide as clear a guide as possible to designing and implementing a compliant offer.
As part of this webinar, you’ll receive access to our Apprenticeship Units Compliance Self-Assessment Tool.
The session will cover:
- Funding
- Course design
- Eligibility
- Initial assessment
- On programme monitoring
- Achievement and withdrawal controls
- Transition to further learning
