David Sampson. Process and policy update, from phase one to NEC today. Presently rejecting 60% of submissions, new relationship managers will help address this number. We expect to publish new templates in the next few days for a standards and assessment plan. There will be great guidance on detail for submission. We are looking for solutions to fast track plans for delivery. Process will streamline technical education into 15 routes, transport is one of these routes providing clear high quality pathway to skilled employment.
We don’t believe qualification needs to be in a standard. The end point assessment may address this. We no longer accept standards with qualification in development.
Ana Osbourne. Deputy Director approvals for Institute for Apprenticeships.
Skilling the workforce, a new green paper on industrial strategy, skills need to be right. The right skills for our future. IFA will be a guardian of quality and standards. Use your relationship manager as a gateway into the IFA for your sector, transport and logistics.

Q and A followed with the Govt board, deputy Director Carl Creswell centre.
