In a letter to Amanda Spielman, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, on the 28 September 2020, the Secretary of State for Education Rt Hon Gavin Williamson CBE MP announced that as of 1 April 2021 Ofsted will become the single body responsible for the inspection of apprenticeship training provision at all levels.
This will include responsibility for provision at levels 6 and 7 (degree and non-degree), in addition to Ofsted’s existing responsibilities. In the case of apprenticeship providers delivering higher education as part of an apprenticeship standard, the Office for Students will continue to provide Ofsted with relevant information to inform inspection judgements.
