Functional Skills – AELP Mini Commissions Survey

18 July, 2024

The Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) is a national membership body, representing member organisations that deliver training and vocational learning. They have recently launched Mini Commissions.

The first Mini Commission is Functional Skills. The aim is to gather robust evidence to drive policy changes and explore new ways of working.

This mini commission will take into account the impact provider evidence on:

  • Number of apprentices current PPED (Past Planned End Date) as a result of FSQs (Functional Skills Qualifications).
  • Number of apprentices who ended up withdrawing as a result of FSQs
  • How and to what extent has the entry criteria evolved to exclude individuals due to FSQ policy
  • The mental health impact of FSQ policy on both apprentices and delivery staff

The survey is open until Friday, 9th August. You can access this survey here.
