Piloting the delivery of a new Apprenticeship framework within Outdoor Programmes

Descriptions

As an Apprenticeship framework developer, SkillsActive is in the process of developing and finalising a Welsh Government Specification of Apprenticeship Standards Wales (SASW) compliant Apprenticeship Framework within the field of Outdoor Adventure. This will build on the existing Specification of Apprenticeship Standards England (SASE) framework entitled ‘Outdoor Programmes’.Therefore, and through this tender specification, SkillsActive is looking to commission appropriate organisations to pilot the delivery of this framework for an October 1st 2013 start. All projects must be defrayed by 31st October 2014 along with all reporting and financial returns.Prospective suppliers may wish to work independently or in partnership. A lead applicant must be identified in the event of a partnership. As part of the submissions process, SkillsActive will also be looking for prospective suppliers to demonstrate how they will ensure that potential learners fit Welsh Government eligibility criteria for Apprenticeships.Finally, copies of the final draft framework can be shared with prospective suppliers on request. Alternatively, the current L3 framework for Outdoor Programmes also provides useful information and this can be obtained through AFO (http://www.afo.sscalliance.org/frameworkslibrary
