Section 6: The English certifying authority

50. This section provides that the “English certifying authority” is the Chief Executive of Skills Funding. The Government’s intention is that the Chief Executive of Skills Funding will delegate this responsibility to the Chief Executive of the National Apprenticeship Service (see Notes to section 82), who may sub-delegate it to sub-contractors.
