We've passed the March 31st deadline for certifying Apprenticeship frameworks, marking the end of ACE’s journey with them.

Since 2012, over 2M apprentices have been certified through ACE - an incredible milestone that speaks to the impact on learners, providers, & the wider skills sector.

In a recent House of Commons debate on the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) Bill, Ian Sollom MP (Liberal Democrats) quoted directly from Skills Federation’s submission - amplifying our call to put learners and employers first in any future reform.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Skills Federation’s brand-new website!

With a fresh new look, our website is designed to better amplify the voice of our members and the vital work they do in driving the development of skills across their industries.
