Providers are measured and monitored by their performance against the indicators of the Apprenticeship Accountability Framework. Understanding the measures and the data used is essential for any leader and manager in the sector. In April 2024 the Department for Education updated the indicators for the framework and these will have significant impact on providers and their planning.
But how do we work with the data effectively and how do we benchmark performance? What do we do with it and how do we plan and implement appropriate actions to improve?
Being aware of how the data is formed, the measures within it and how to respond is vital to managing effective provision from both a quality and a compliance perspective but being able to put the data in context, set effective targets and work with the results is the real challenge.
That’s why this 2-hour deep-dive session will help you improve your understanding, get effective ways of planning and effective implementation of strategy in this area to lay a strong foundation for the coming years.
*New for 2025 – updated content including analysis of the new indicator measurements, and with QAR and retention benchmarking using rates published in March 2024.
During the session, we’ll look at:
- Understanding the Apprenticeship Training Provider Accountability Framework, the indicators and risks
- How the framework works with quality inspection
- Data, Strategy, Context and setting effective targets
- Interventions and working with action plans
- Q&A
