The Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA) has released a presentation, delivered back in November, which warned of a huge apprenticeship overspend. The presentation was released to Gordon Marsden, the shadow skills minister after he wrote to the IfA about the issue. The slides have been altered since they were first delivered and the issue of a potential overspend has since been refuted by Keith Smith, the ESFA’s director of apprenticeships and by the skills minister, Anne Milton. For more on this story and a link to the presentation, see here.
