Your Chance to Input on Four New Apprenticeships
The Arboriculture, Forestry, Horticulture and Landscape Apprenticeship Group has gained approval from the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education to develop four new apprenticeships. Once complete, these will be supported by the Government’s apprenticeship scheme and will be available for training providers to offer across England.
Employers, with the support of training professionals, have been working hard to write the content of these new apprenticeships and now need a wider perspective. To make sure that they meet the needs of the widest cross-section of organisations, they need the industry’s help.
If you are an employer, training provider, assessment organisation or potential apprentice, we encourage you to complete this survey before 15th October 2020. It only
takes 10 minutes and it gives you the chance to influence the content of these future apprenticeships.
There are four surveys, each with relevant standards – please complete those that are relevant to your work.
