Working Together: Navigating Functional Skills Changes 

At VTCT Skills we have been following the recent apprenticeship policy changes, notably the relaxation of the Functional Skills requirement for adult apprentices is one of the key changes. Early discussions with colleagues suggest that whilst the removal of the Functional Skills hurdle will be welcome for some apprentices, there are financial implications to consider.  

We would like to understand how this change will affect you and if we can support you in any way.   

Your VTCT Skills Key Account Manager is happy to discuss this in more detail, please do get in touch as we’d love to hear from you. We believe that by working together, we can ensure the best possible outcomes for your apprentices.
