Training providers with learners still on apprenticeship frameworks must:
- make sure the employer and apprentice understand that there will be no opportunity to get their certificate after 31 March 2025
- withdraw learners who will not complete before this date
If learning is not going to be completed, providers can speak with the employer and apprentice to see if there is a suitable apprenticeship standard. This will need to comply with the apprenticeship funding rules, including on recognising prior learning and the minimum duration.
Guidance on searching for apprenticeship standards is available.
