We offer competency-based qualifications such as BTEC Apprenticeships, NVQs as well as Essential Skills Wales, which is the only basic skills qualification available in Wales.
The Apprenticeship framework rules in England and Wales have changed in response to the commitments set out in the government's strategy for the future of Apprenticeships in England, published in January 2008. Compliance with the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England and Wales (SASE/W) is a statutory requirement of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning (ASCL) Act, and will replace the existing non-statutory ‘Blueprint’ for Apprenticeships.
All Apprenticeship Frameworks offered in Wales will include Essential Skills Wales.
