These Trailblazer Apprenticeship standards will be used instead of the existing Retail Apprenticeship standards from 2017. However, please note that current SASE Apprenticeships will continue until August 2017.

The Trailblazer groups and Awarding Organisations are now working on how the standards will be assessed and determining finer details, including specific timelines. We are planning a series of webinars to update on Trailblazers activity (expected to begin in the summer when more information will be available).

A new Trailblazer for Trade Business Services was approved last week that will be chaired by Howdens. The first meeting will take place in April, so we will see new standards being developed for that area in the next 12 months. Further information will be shared as and when it is available.

Two new CPD Awards were accredited on 1 March 2015:
