Revisions status report
Revisions status report – February 2021
The revisions status report:
- shows apprenticeship standards that are being revised;
- provides a brief overview of the revisions planned for each apprenticeship standard; and
- states the stage that each revision has reached.
The report also provides an opportunity to input views – either via the Institute survey relating to the relevant apprenticeship standard submission (where available) or via the relevant Institute relationship manager – on a suitable notice period for the introduction of a revised version in place of a current version for new starts.
The report does not include apprenticeship standards that are currently the subject of an Institute route review. Unless we have agreed a recommendation and the revision work has started.
We aim to publish an updated version of this report shortly after our deadline for submissions every 8 weeks.
Please contact the apprenticeships standard’s Institute relationship manager if you have any queries about a revision.
For queries about the report more generally or to suggest how it could be improved, please contact [email protected]
