New Funding Rules - Para 41.1.2 - Where gateway requires L2 E&M
Created
Reading the new rules, there seems to be an added paragraph that was not in the updated 24/25 rules from February after the announcement about English and maths for 19+ apprentices. It reads:
41.2.1 Note that if English and / or maths is a regulatory requirement or is an essential component of any mandatory qualification and forms part of the apprenticeship gateway requirement, it must be completed and evidenced as part of gateway requirements. This will be made clear on the relevant apprenticeship standards.
We now have 19+ apprenticeships starting in September where the employer has confirmed that they will not require maths L2 (after discussion with us), based on the 24/25 rules. But the L2 maths is still under the gateway requirements in the assessment plan for the standard (Social Worker)
Are we to assume this will be removed before these apprentices get to gateway? Or do we now have to go back to these apprentices and say they now have to do a maths qualification on top of their apprenticeship? Or have I misread/misinterpreted this paragraph?

Would speak to your EPAO, see what they say. Difficult to tell if the Gateway reqs have just not been updated or it's intentional...
