The ESFA has reviewed providers’ achievement data published in the National achievement rates tables for 2018 to 2019. Where the provider has failed to meet the minimum standard achievement for all-age apprenticeship provision, they will be taking positive action to challenge this situation. Their position on minimum standards is to continue to be rigorous in driving up the quality of apprenticeship delivery. They will be writing to all providers from next week on their proposed action for those providers that have failed all-age apprenticeship minimum standard for 2018 to 2019.
