APPRENTICESHIP RULING REVERSED
Level 2 now on approved list

On September 7th the Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA) informed the Landbased Engineering - Training and Education Committee Ltd (LE-TEC) that its previous decision to withdraw the Landbased Engineering level 2 ‘Service Engineer’ apprenticeship from the government’s approved apprenticeship list has been reversed.




This decision has been made after consideration of the representations made to them by LE-TEC, supported by the recent survey results. Furthermore the newly updated level 2 ‘Service Engineer’ apprenticeship standard and its associated assessment plan have been approved.

The Land-based Engineering level 2 ‘Service Engineer’ apprenticeship now joins the level 3 ‘Technician’ apprenticeship as being fully approved and deliverable.

Publication of both the level 2 and level 3 land-based engineering standards will appear on the government’s website in 4-6 weeks time when the IfA funding committee have reviewed the funding bands as being appropriate.

Meanwhile the advice given by the IfA is that training providers and employers should enrol new apprentices onto the published apprenticeship standards to enable them to start immediately and transfer the apprentices onto the new standards when they are published.

LE-TEC is the Landbased Engineering Training and Education Committee Ltd. It is a registered company formed from three industry organisations representing the Landbased Engineering sector, the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA), the British Agricultural and Garden Machinery Association (BAGMA) and the Institute of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE).
