Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

Amendment 9 proposes that the apprenticeship certificate must state that the qualifications "have been successfully completed" and identify the employer. We want to see adequate details of an apprenticeship included in the relevant certificate. That is important for two reasons. First, it would give employers, principally future employers, greater ability to see what lies behind the certificate. Secondly, it would ensure that the highest possible standards are achieved and maintained in apprenticeships. I look forward to hearing the explanations of those noble Lords proposing the other amendments in this group because I expect that I will sympathise with them. I beg to move.
