A temporary dispensation has been applied to the ST1017 end-point assessment plan V1.0 for this apprenticeship. The dispensation will remain live from 01/03/2025 until the apprentices registered on V1.0 have either completed their EPA, including any resits and retakes, or moved to a subsequent version.
A revised versionof this has been agreed and is available for information only at present. It will replace the version below for new starts from 21st August 2025 (with a funding band of £19,000) Further details of this and other apprenticeship in revision are available in the revisions status report.

Change request policy
Most changes to an apprenticeship are made as a result of a holistic review of it. We prioritise the need for such reviews based on a range of factors. These include:
the time since the apprenticeship was developed or last reviewed (taking account of its typical duration)
the existence of any known problems with it (e.g. lower than expected starts, low achievement rate, high withdrawal rate, any issues with the availability of training or end-point assessment provision)
whether the apprenticeship is currently subject to a dispensation
the relative significance of the apprenticeship based on how many users it has
The availability of an employer group to support a review and its potential impact on any related technical education product also inform the timing of a review.
Details of apprenticeships that are currently being revised or adjusted are available in our revisions and adjustments status report.
