This statement applies to all subcontractors that are funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
Our policy relating to the use, management and oversight of subcontractors is available separately.
View Our Subcontracting Policy →Engineering Trust Training Ltd (ETT) subcontracts learners to colleges and Independent Training Providers (ITPs) for the delivery of specific Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications.
ETT remains fully accountable for the delivery of each apprentice’s programme and closely monitors the quality of subcontracted provision in order to maintain and improve standards.
ETT also ensures that best practice is adopted by its subcontractors and endeavours to support them in delivering high-quality apprenticeships and qualifications.
ETT subcontracts the provision of Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications to colleges and ITPs. We do this to enable the businesses that choose us as their training provider to access local provision for the qualifications required as part of an apprenticeship programme.
Employers approach ETT to benefit from our high-quality in-company training, support and assessment, while also ensuring their apprentice can access college-based training close to their home.
This enhances the opportunities available to learners and supports improved geographical access, rather than requiring apprentices to travel outside their region for their release to a college setting.
Example total programme funding of £21,000 over a 36-month programme.
Administration, management of apprentice progress, management of employer training, and delivery and assessment of the in-company competency qualification.
Delivery of the Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering.
This provision consists of one day per week over two academic terms.
Funding allocated for the apprentice’s independent End-Point Assessment at the end of the programme.
