From compliance, to funding rules and best practice, hear the latest guidance from industry experts and our team of apprenticeship specialists.
As well as bringing many new opportunities, being part of the Apprenticeship Register and Assessment Register (APAR) can raise questions about how you approach your apprenticeship management. Once on the register, providers must comply with a range of funding and compliance requirements. These include meeting minimum standards for apprenticeship delivery and adhering to government guidelines on funding and reporting. It can be time consuming and complex to ensure you are meeting Ofsted standards and complying with Education and Skills Funding Agency (EFSA) funding requirements.
At Aptem, we’re proud to work with many APAR providers. We help them navigate the unique and ever-changing challenges that come with delivering vocational training in a highly regulated environment.
Here, we’ve rounded up some of our key compliance articles and webinars. They are informed by compliance specialists and our team of industry experts who have experience working in roles just like yours. Check out our APAR resources and get in touch to discuss your apprenticeship LMS.
