The Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) is supporting the Business Administration Level 2 apprenticeship standard trailblazer group to ensure the standard gets approved. AELP is now consulting its members and the employer community on a blueprint for the standard prepared by the employer trailblazer. The trailblazer group has been led by SCTP member, East Sussex County Council (ESCC), following an Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA) announcement at the November 2017 SCTP members’ meeting that this standard was not likely to be developed and previous and subsequent proposals for this standard have been resisted by the IfA. ESCC are supported in the trailblazer group by Skillsfirst and employers in the private and public sectors. Following this AELP consultation, the proposals will be finalised and submitted to the IfA. Further details about the support required for this consultation are here, with responses requested by 11 January 2019.
