Coronavirus and Apprenticeships

The government has published further guidance for apprentices, as well as for employers, training providers, end-point assessment organisations and external quality assurance providers.

Key points from the guide include:

  • confirming apprentices on furlough can continue their training as long as it does not provide services or generate revenue for their employer 
     

  • encouraging both training, and assessment, to take place remotely
     

  • granting extensions, where appropriate, to the timetable for assessments
     

  • allowing breaks in learning, and explaining how they should be recorded
     

  • stating HM Treasury will not be pausing apprenticeship levy payments for employers
