The Department for Education (DfE) will use this framework to review the quality of apprenticeship provision of all ages. This guidance sets out our expectations, including:

• the policy frameworks key principles and objectives
• the indicators and thresholds well use to review provider quality
• the support well provide
• the range of interventions we may take where provider quality issues are identified

This is for all providers currently delivering apprenticeships, including:

• colleges
• higher education institutions
• independent training organisations
• local authorities
• employer providers

This sits alongside funding rules and guidance on financial health.
