Update on senior leader review (7 May 2020)

Posted by: , Posted on: - Categories: Apprenticeship standards, Employers

The Trailblazer has analysed the responses from the consultation and have attended a workshop to consider what revisions are appropriate to make to the draft occupational standard. With support from the Institute, they are now revising the occupational standard with a view to finalising a draft for submission into the Institute’s next approvals cycle.

 

The currently envisaged timeline for the revision of the standard and related end-point assessment plan is as follows:

    Will the revised standard be available to view on the 20 May 2020 and if yes, can can you advise where this can be found?

    The link on the Institute's page is no longer available:

      The revised standard will be going through the submission process next week and part of the process will be a public consultation. Links to the consultation will be in the blog next week

    Dear Sally,

    Thank you for the update on the process.

    May we check our understanding - we thought the consultation process had closed on the 29 April 2020?

    The Institute's Consultation section of the website has been updated today advising it has closed. Is there an additional public consultation next week?

    Please advise, many thanks in advance.

      The public consultation undertaken on behalf of the TB group closed on 29 April. When a standard is submitted the Institute also opens a public consultation on the standard as part of the submission process so this will be opened once the Senior Leader standard is submitted next week.
