16-18 Traineeships with Digital Skills

Created

None

Is anyone delivering Digital Skills within their 16-18 traineeship programme please, I am looking for a non reg aim but am struggling to find one that fits 16-18 provision, can anyone help with a learning aim ref please, or are there only regulated aims for 16-18?

thanks

Category E for 16-18 non-reg aims, so this for L1:

Non regulated provision, Level 1, ICT for Users (fasst.org.uk)

Thanks for the fast response Steve, I had noticed that but I scrolled on as I was looking for something that said Digital Skills (D'oh) that's great I can now report back.

Have a good day

Yeah, the only capital D, capital S "Digital Skills" are regulated aims, but Study Prog Traineeships don't mandate them, if I remember correctly...

Wendy Lees

That's true they're not mandated for 16-18 but we wanted to add them in for this year, we can now make a decision on delivering this qual or paying for a regulated Digital Skills. thanks again

This just in! New class codes for Essential Digital Skills:

ESFA Update further education: 25 August 2021 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

They must have been listening ;)

Thanks Steve, 

The ESFA issued the new Traineeship framework on 13th Aug which included mandatory Essential Digital Skills from 21/22 academic year,  luckily we are approved to deliver a L1 EDS with Pearson (phew) not sure how other providers who aren't approved for EDS delivery are going to deliver to cohorts until they get approval. I'm all for upskilling DS but a bit of warning would have been nice 

I'll take a look at the attachment

Blimey, I'd missed that as well!
