Time to Train regulations will NOT BE extended this April to employees of small and medium-sized businesses.
Following a recent consultation covering a wide range of businesses and employee groups, Ministers are taking further time to examine the potential impact of the regulation on smaller firms.Further Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning Minister, John Hayes said:"It is vital to the economy and individuals that everyone has access to the training they need. That is why we are investing in apprenticeships, protecting adult and community learning, and freeing colleges to respond to local needs."But it is vital that the right balance is struck between support for training and the need to minimise the burden of regulation for smaller companies. "We have delayed implementation to allow further, thorough discussion, scrutiny and evaluation."
