The frameworks below are known as ‘blueprint’ frameworks, as they were developed to meet the Government ‘blueprint’ for Apprenticeship frameworks developed in 2004. The ‘blueprint’ is being replaced in England and Wales by frameworks that comply with new a specification for Apprenticeships, known as the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England (SASE) and the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for Wales (SASW). Go to the SASE and SASW frameworks page to find out more.

The end dates for learners commencing on the old ‘blueprint’ frameworks in England are as follows:

• Business and Administration 30/05/2011
• Customer Service 30/05/2011
• Contact Centres 28/06/2011
• Management and Team Leading 28/06/2011
• Marketing 28/06/2011
• Sales & Telesales 28/06/2011

For Sales & Telesales, Marketing, Management and Team Leading and Contact Centres there will be a brief period of dual running of the old ‘blueprint’ and new ‘SASE’ frameworks in England, between 31st May 2011 and 28 June 2011.

In Wales, there will be a period of dual running for all the ‘SASW’ and ‘Blueprint’ frameworks until 31 July 2011. From 1st August 2011, all new starts in Wales must use the ‘SASW’ Frameworks.
