Construction update - March 2020
An update on everything new within the Construction sector.
Extension of qualifications and provision after SASE ends
We have recently extended a number of qualifications reaching their review date, to enable them to continue to be used in apprenticeships or as stand-alone qualifications.
Following a review of take-up and future demand of these qualifications, we're continuing to offer a number of qualifications to the end of the year, and to further extend beyond, but we plan to close a number of qualifications for new registrations after 31 July 2020 where they have low demand.
Please contact Gabriel Staples if you have any concerns.
As a reminder, the Government is closing SASE apprenticeships for new enrolments on 31 July 2020 whereby learners must instead enrol on new apprenticeship Standards, which are available now. In many cases, no qualifications are mandated for these new standards, but we are mapping our qualifications to the standards where applicable so that they may be used by providers to meet on-programme knowledge or skill requirements.
The two categories of qualifications are listed below:
