Register of apprenticeship training providers launched

The Department for Education (DfE) and the Skills Finding Agency (SFA) have published a new register of apprenticeship training providers.

All providers on the register have been through a rigorous assessment process to make sure they meet apprenticeship quality expectations. Levy-paying employers will be able to choose their apprenticeship training delivery for all apprentices starting their programmes from May 2017.

The register should be flexible and responsive to the needs of employers looking for apprenticeships. There will be regular opportunities for new providers to apply to the register, with the chance for new applications at the end of March and quarterly thereafter, encouraging diversity and competition amongst providers and supporting quality and employer choice.
