Options for learning and progression – Business Administration post SASE
In July 2020 the business administration Level 2 SASE apprenticeship is due to close, and there is no replacement.
We know, through our engagement with centres and employers, that there will still be a strong demand in the market for options that act as a stepping stone from Level 2 to Level 3.
Having listened to centre feedback, we have pulled together a range of options to help you service the needs of learners, with existing qualifications and programmes that attract funding.
Ahead of the SASE shut off, and in order to provide a level 2 offer, we strongly recommend that you consider the following City & Guilds qualifications and programmes for your provision.
