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
