The Council are looking to refresh our existing (OAAPL) Oxfordshire Apprenticeship Approved Provider List for the provision of apprenticeship training across a range of Lots and Standards (as detailed in Appendix 1). This is based on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP). As apprenticeship frameworks have been withdrawn and new standards introduced Oxfordshire County Council want to ensure our framework reflects the extensive range and offer of Apprenticeships at the current time. The Oxfordshire OAAPL will be available to the County Council, including any of the Schools which it maintains or oversees.
