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 Apprentice Certificate Authorisation Form to download a form we have 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.
NEW – GUIDED LEARNING HOURS – due to recent information received from the Certificating Authority, providers must provide evidence that a Apprentice has completed the minimum number of Guided Learning Hours if their Apprenticeship is completed in LESS THAN 12 MONTHS. Click GHL Certificate of Compliance to download the form. If required, this form should be uploaded on to ACE along with the Apprentice Certificate Authorisation form.
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.
