This is following the success of our winning partnership to deliver construction qualifications in Wales and the T Level in Construction: Building Services Engineering last year. They are:
As a response to the COVID crisis, all exams due to take place in schools and colleges this summer were cancelled. Ofqual was tasked with establishing two temporary regulatory frameworks – one for General Qualifications (GQs) and one for Vocational and Technical Qualifications (VTQs) to allow awarding organisations and exam boards to assign a grade to as many learners as possible this summer in a fair and consistent way, enabling those learners to progress to the next stage of their learning or employment with qualifications that would be recognised by educational establishments and employers.
The Institute’s apprentice panel is now recruiting for new members for 2020 and beyond. We need members to represent all 15 ‘routes’ and from occupations in levels 2 to 7. If you know of an apprentice in your organisation or elsewhere who should apply, please do share the link below with them and encourage them to apply by 13 January 2020.

Our parent company Enginuity is a partner of Project DRIVES, the aim of the project is to design and deliver human capital solutions through the establishment of an Automotive Sector Skills Alliance, covering all levels of the value chain (vehicle production, suppliers, sales and aftermarket services).

The survey will inform DRIVES to develop concrete actions such as mapping and developing training, to satisfy short and medium-term skills need to support the overall sectoral strategy and deliver policy recommendations for the automotive sector.
In response to customer feedback, regulatory requirements and our commitment to continuous improvement, we have been reviewing our conflict of interest policy.

You can now indicate which of the requirements are needed to enable the learner to have the best possible support when undertaking EAL examinations, by ticking the relevant box.
From September 2021 City & Guilds and EAL will be the sole provider of a new suite of fundable Construction and Building Services Engineering qualifications in Wales and we invite you to be part of the consultation process through a series of events, to review and feedback your views on the draft documents and their content.
All stakeholders within the Building Service and Construction sector within Wales such as employers, trade bodies, colleges and training providers bodies are invited to participate.
