The consultation launched on 24^th February sets out a proposed new model, with two options, for assigning funding bands to apprenticeship standards, and seeks feedback through a series of questions.

Alongside the consultation document, IfATE has publishing a research report, commissioned from IFF, which dives deeper into the actual costs associated with delivering apprenticeship standards. The IfATE states that the research informs much of the new model.

The consultation closes on 6^th April.

UVAC will be pulling together a response and is planning a consultation event for members.  Details to be published shortly.
