TESP is encouraging the industry to give views on the Electrotechnical Apprenticeship Standard review.
The standard-based apprenticeship for electricians has been in operation since September 2015, with more than 31,000 starts. In that time, technology and the policies around apprenticeships have moved on. It is therefore timely to review the apprenticeship to ensure it remains fit for purpose.
Tasked by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IFATE), an Employer Review Group has developed an updated and revised Electrotechnical Apprenticeship Standard. This retains most of what is in the current standard with additional elements and it is now ready for wider consultation.
The employer group is now keen to seek industry feedback on the proposed content. The consultation, which includes an introduction, the standard and a series of questions, can be found at https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/HAO3BX/
The consultation will close on 9 September.
