Policy updates
The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (the Institute) has launched a consultation on a proposed new approach to setting funding band recommendations.
Launched on Monday 24th February, the consultation sets out a proposed core model and seeks views on two options for addressing differences in costs of teaching and consumables.
An interim impact assessment of the current model and its options accompanies the consultation. A Cost of Delivering Apprenticeship Standards report is also available to view on the Institute’s website.
The research within the report commissioned by the Institute and the ESFA was independently undertaken by IFF Research and informs the proposed model. Thus those wishing to take part in the consultation should read the report first.
The consultation closes on Monday 6th April 2020 at midday.
Please take part in the consultation, which can be saved and returned to at any point until the consultation closes. If you need any further information or support in responding to this consultation please email [email protected]


Enginuity Announces Tom Brookes Best of British
The very best of British engineering and manufacturing was celebrated last night at the Enginuity Skills Awards 2022. More than 200 people gathered at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London for the first in-person awards since 2019.

Celebrating Achievements Together
The Enginuity Skills Awards are always a wonderful opportunity to recognise the very best talent from across industry, but this year will be extra special for a number of reasons.

Engineering Apprenticeships in Scotland
Scotland has a very proud history of engineering and going forward, our apprentices will play an important part in ensuring that tradition continues. In particular, they have a real chance to make a difference when it comes to helping the country achieve its aims for a cleaner, greener future.

National Apprenticeship Week
The 15th annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships, taking place across England between 7th - 13th, will showcase the impact apprenticeships can have on communities, local businesses and regional economies and how they all benefit from the impact of apprenticeships. Enginuity are taking an active part in the week, promoting new content each day. Make sure to follow us and check back for updates throughout the event.
