Welcome to the UVAC CFO Toolkit

The guide and supporting, interactive, toolkit have been designed exclusively for UVAC members. It is developed to help Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) and other senior leaders in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) navigate the financial, operational and compliance aspects of apprenticeships and technical education, forecast earnings and establish the return on investment to the institution of delivering Government’s flagship skills programmes.

The Guide comprises details on:

Improving understanding of funding methodologies, costing approaches, and pricing strategies.
Overcoming common barriers and misconceptions.
Practical tools to manage risks and capitalise on opportunities.
Making informed decisions on sustainable, high-quality provision.

The chapters explore the funding in increasing depth, from an overview of apprenticeships and technical education to specific guidance on delivery models, pricing, contracting, and maximising return on investment. Tools and resources are provided throughout to help CFO’s and apprenticeship and skills teams apply the principles in specific/ organisational contexts.
