The Department for Education has been working with a large number of employers and training providers to develop and deliver its response to COVID-19, including a number of initiatives for new starts and on programme learners.

In addition to this work, we are continuing to explore and understand any potential barriers to engaging with apprenticeships that employers may face. As a part of this, we are undertaking a review of how employers and providers are currently delivering apprenticeship and why some models that can be funded under our current rules are not used as widely as others.

This work is designed to increase our understanding of apprenticeship delivery models and, specifically, how the 20% off-the-job (OTJ) training is distributed throughout the apprenticeship.

This work is not about assessing the funding available for each apprenticeship and any outcome from this research will not affect total funding availability per apprenticeship.

Deadline to complete the survey- 24 August 2020- please send the survey to- employer.comms@education.gov.uk
