This video is a short snippet from our May session How to practically implement the new 2024-25 Apprenticeship Funding Rules – Laying the ground, where SDN’s Strategic Associate David Lockhart-Hawkins worked through the key changes that appeared in the draft version to the “pre-entry” part of an apprenticeship programme. By that, we mean the journey of employer enquiry to the applicant.
Watch the video below, where David takes you through:
- Breakdown of the 24/25 draft rules around the pre-entry phase
- The financial provider handbook
- Key changes from April
- Actions to take
We hosted a second deep-dive session, How to practically implement the new 2024-25 Apprenticeship Funding Rules – Detailed implementation, where we looked at the first full version of the rules that will apply from August and dug further into best practice on what you may want to change to become more operationally effective alongside funding rule compliance.
This session covered:
- How the funding rule changes will impact on the learner journey:
- Pre-entry
- Entry
- On-programme
- Gateway and end-point assessment
- Progression
- Specific changes you will need to make to your ILR and funding administration and management
- Practical adaptions you will need to make to your systems, processes and templates
