I understand that the Apprenticeship Council has provided feedback to category 2 and 3 consortia in relation to their proposals. The Council intends to engage more fully with those consortia as work on progressing category 1 proposals reaches a more advanced stage. Consortia engaged with the call for proposals on the basis that details would only be published of proposals approved for progression to a detailed planning stage. At this stage, I do not propose to publish details of category 2 and 3 proposals.
