Apprenticeship assessment is evolving. The Highfield Apprenticeship Information Hub brings together the latest updates, expert perspectives, and practical guidance - so you can understand what’s changing and what it means for you.
What’s changing
Simpler assessment plans
Plans are expected to be shorter and less prescriptive, with fewer assessment methods.
Greater delivery flexibility
Training providers may play a larger role in assessment, supported by awarding organisations.
More flexible assessment
Assessment is becoming more proportionate, focusing on the skills and knowledge that matter most.
Assessment across the programme
In some cases, assessment may take place during delivery, rather than only at the end.
Standards in revision
Apprenticeship standards are being reviewed and updated in line with the latest assessment reforms. We’ll keep you informed on what’s changing and what it means for delivery.
