Apprenticeship Frameworks

What is an Apprenticeship Framework?

Apprenticeship Frameworks in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland set out the requirements which an apprentice needs to learn and achieve during their training. They combine practical work experience with classroom learning, guiding apprentices to gain the skills and qualifications needed for a job in the intended industry.

 

What value do Apprenticeship Frameworks provide?

Employers and Training Providers use these Apprenticeship Frameworks to guide the apprentice through their training. The framework sets out the skills and qualifications needed for the intended job and helps employers create a clear plan for the apprentice. It also helps track progress, and ensures apprentices gain the right experience and qualifications.

Get started with Apprenticeship Frameworks

Apprenticeships across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland allow learners to gain the hands-on experience and knowledge required to work safely and competently in the land-based sector. The apprentice develops their skills and knowledge through a package of learning at work and off-the-job learning by means of a partnership between the apprentice, employer and training provider.

Lantra is a contracted delivery partner for the development and maintenance of Apprenticeship Frameworks, working with land-based stakeholders to ensure they are relevant and fit for purpose.
