Abstract
The main aim of this research project was to assess the added value, for learners and employers, of undertaking an apprenticeship in comparison to an equivalent stand-alone qualification.
The research focuses on England and is in response to the implementation of considerable apprenticeship reforms in April 2017, a key element of which was the introduction of the apprenticeship levy. The introduction of these reforms was followed by a large reduction in the number of apprenticeship starts overall (although not in the Accounting sector) which have not yet recovered to pre-April 2017 levels. There has also generally been a significant increase in the take-up of Higher level apprenticeships and decreases in Intermediate apprenticeships, and a continuation of the trend to employing older rather than younger apprentices.
The study involved a mixed method approach involving and e-survey of apprentices, and for comparison ‘non funded’ AAT diploma learners as well as apprentice employers. This was then followed up with in-depth qualitative interviews of the same groups.
