Apprenticeship Units went live in April 2026 and many providers will be looking to implement effective 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 workshop support package 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 package, you’ll receive access to our Apprenticeship Units Compliance Self-Assessment Tool.
What the package covers:
- Funding
- Course design
- Eligibility
- Initial assessment
- On programme monitoring
- Achievement and withdrawal controls
- Transition to further learning
About the package
Designed for: Leaders, Programme leaders, Curriculum designers, MI leaders, administrators
