The Institute is committed to supporting the apprenticeship sector to deal with the significant challenge COVID-19 presents.

We are doing everything we can to continue the delivery of high-quality apprenticeships while putting everyone’s health and wellbeing first.

We are working closely with the Department for Education, Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), Treasury, the National Apprenticeship Service, Ofqual and Office for Students, as well as the organisations that employ, train and assess apprentices
