The electrical JIB have issued an important statement about the Level 3 Electrotechnical Qualification when used outside the 'electrical trailblazer' apprenticeship.

We are currently reviewing our External Quality Assurer (EQA) team structure to ensure our centres receive the best service possible. As a result, some centres in England and Wales will have their lead and/or specialist EQA reallocated.

If you provide training services to the automotive sector, including vehicle producers, suppliers, sales and aftermarket services, you could become a vital stakeholder in a major new European skills project.

Our new Engineering Talent platform will provide an innovative and unique way to recruit learners and deliver training online. Designed as an interactive digital learning environment, centre and employers will be able to engage and enrich their learners with resources relevant to their apprenticeship. The platform will also measure and support the 20% off-the-job training requirement for the apprenticeship standards.

In response to customer feedback during our popular workshops last November, we’ve produced further EPA support in the form of two short guidance films.

 
Created in partnership with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the films outline our EPA offer and the process from an employer’s and apprentice’s perspective for the Mechatronics Level 3 apprenticeship standard.

In previous editions of Spotlight we have been keeping you up to date with the launch of e-invoicing and the development of notification emails to inform your nominated centre when an invoice has been issued.

In light of positive customer feedback, we can now confirm that we will be fully transitioning from paper-based invoicing to electronic invoicing on 1st June 2017.
