Section 3: English apprenticeships: simplification
25.This section introduces Schedule 1 which inserts a new Chapter A1 in Part 1 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009. Part 1 is part of the law of England and Wales. Chapter 1 of that Part currently provides a regime for both “English apprenticeships” and “Welsh apprenticeships”. The new Chapter A1 relates only to “English apprenticeships” and introduces a new regime for them. Chapter 1 will continue to provide the regime for “Welsh apprenticeships”. Schedule 1 also makes related amendments. See commentary on Schedule 1 below.
