Due to the Apprenticeship, Schools and Children Act 2009 (ASCL Act), which was enacted on the 6th April 2011, Apprentices must now apply for their own certificates. However, it can be done through a training provider with the permission of the Apprentice. Click Universal Apprentice Certificate Authorisation Form V2 to download a form that has been provided for providers to use to obtain this permission. This completed form must be uploaded on to the ACE Online system along with the other evidence in order to request a certificate for the Apprentice. This new form is mandatory from 1st March 2013. To assist you here is the Universal Apprentice Declaration form – Guidance Notes for Completion Dec 12
NEW GUIDANCE – Guided Learning Hours – due to recent information from the Certificating Authority, the Universal Apprentice Certificate Authorisation Form V2 can be used to evidence the completion of the required GLH. However it is NOT sufficient to evidence the Personal Learning and Thinking Skills or Employee Rights and Responsibilities.
The PLTS requires the completion of the sign off sheet at the back of the mapping document (see the relevant framework page to download this document) and the ERR requires a certificate for the QCF L2 Award in Employee Rights & Responsibilities in the Logistics Industry.
NOTE: Certificates requested through ACE will cost £22 each.
NOTE CONCERNING KEY SKILL PROXYS : The ‘old’ list of proxys such as adult literacy & numeracy or GCSE Maths/English Grade D-G that could be used in place of the Key Skill test in the old blueprint frameworks CANNOT be used for Apprentices registered on the new SASE frameworks. There is a list of ‘options’ within each of the SASE frameworks which states which alternative qualifications can be used for the Key Skills and these are alternatives for the whole of the Key Skill. Proxys to use in place of the Key Skills Test do not exist in SASE frameworks.
