The apprenticeship accountability framework (AAF) dashboard has been updated to include the thresholds published in the AAF in April 2024. The new thresholds will be used in performance conversations from June 2024. To support provider self-improvement, the dashboard now also includes more detailed benchmarking at occupational standard level using provider 2022 to 2023 qualification achievement rates (QARs). Benchmarking data now includes quartile data, alongside the comparison benchmarking introduced in April 2024. The apprenticeship training provider accountability framework and specification guidance provides information on how benchmarking will be used as part of AAF discussions and technical detail on how quartile benchmarking is calculated.
