Apprenticeship standards – future standards and revisions

Plan ahead with an overview of new standards we will be launching and revisions to existing standards in the year ahead.

We understand that forward planning is essential for smooth apprenticeship delivery.

To support your programme coordination, this page offers an overview of standards that we will be launching and supporting for end-point assessment (EPA), as well as planned revisions to assessments and EPA for existing standards we support.

This page is regularly updated to give you a clear picture of what is coming up in the months ahead.

For more information and support please feel free to reach out to our EPA Partnership Managers to discuss your requirements. You can also sign up for email alerts via our preference centre.
