Apprenticeships should meet the skill needs of apprentices and the needs of employers of all sizes.
Understanding the local skills and employment market can help with planning what apprenticeship training you offer.
Every apprentice should have a high-quality experience that prepares them for a successful career and supports their progression to higher level skills.
This guide is intended for both new and existing training providers delivering apprenticeships at any level, and providers who are planning to deliver apprenticeships in the future. It focuses on the essential steps required to prepare and deliver high-quality apprenticeships.
The guide is supported by the apprenticeship checklist for training providers. This is a self-assessment tool for training providers which will help them plan and identify areas for improvement and access further relevant guidance and information.
The guide and checklist will be updated over time. This may include links to new or additional content.
