4. Apprenticeship Reforms:
Withdrawal of Frameworks
• As part of the apprenticeship reform programme, the
SFA have published a list of seven apprenticeship
frameworks that they will withdraw
• These frameworks will close to new apprenticeship starts from
1 June 2016.
• The Impact of this should be low
• These frameworks had no apprenticeship starts reported in
the 2014 to 2015 or in the 2015 to 2016 funding year to
date.
• This will not affect those apprentices currently
completing their apprenticeship on these
frameworks
