    Roadmap Items:-

    We have created a new Skilltech Roadmap that is dynamic and works from our Product Discovery board, these are tickets created from feature requests, (both internal and external) and the board shows which quarter they are currently planned to start in.

    As with any roadmap it will be subject to change.

    Apprenticeship Reform Changes update including Foundation Apprenticeship changes

    https://covalenttech.atlassian.net/jira/polaris/projects/PDT/ideas/view/6067399?selectedIssue=PDT-149

    Currently waiting actual clarification from Skills for England / DFE / IfATE due end of May 2025, on the changes that will come into place to streamline EPA assessments.

    High level the changes :-

    Streamlined End Point Assessments (EPAs):

    The assessment process is becoming more streamlined, with fewer duplication and more proportionate assessment method

    On-Programme Assessment:

    Some assessments can now take place during the training period, rather than solely at the end

    Training Provider Involvement:

    Training providers can deliver certain assessment elements, with the End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) still responsible for quality assurance

    Foundation Apprentices
