It could be replicated in other areas and fields. We are all familiar with the craft apprenticeship model and in recent years we have seen the industry-led consortium model. That is welcome. We often cite Germany as a country with a good apprenticeship model in all fields. Mr. Smith said a centrally co-ordinated and certified model needs to be in place. Given there is such a diverse range of apprenticeships, how does he see that working? He also stated that he has concerns about the direction being explored by SOLAS and is not fully aligned with it. Will he expand on that?
