Your expertise is needed to shape the future of skills development in farming and growing.
There are plenty of ways you can get involved in improving apprenticeships and courses in agriculture and horticulture.

Share your knowledge

By working with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and City & Guilds, you can ensure apprenticeships and qualifications are giving the next generation of farmers and growers the skills they need to succeed.

Here are three ways you can be a part of developing the next generation of talent for agriculture and horticulture.
Registered experts are called upon to assess the quality of apprenticeships and courses in farming and growing.

How we're helping develop talent

We have joined IfATE's Directory of Professional and Employer-led Bodies to help shape the future of apprenticeships and technical education.

Inclusion on the Employer Directory emphasises TIAH's position at the forefront of skills and its role in developing a future workforce for agriculture and horticulture.

Ofqual and the Office for Students wants to work with experts to improve farm courses.

What is the Employer Directory?

The Employer Directory has a membership of more than 80 professional and employer-led bodies. It provides industry-focused guidance to regulators Ofqual and the Office for Students on quality assurance of apprenticeship end point assessment.

Directory members are also increasingly being called upon by IfATE to advise on apprenticeship quality, T Levels, HTQs, approval of wider Level 2 and 3 technical qualifications, and occupational maps which guide employers and potential learners on different training opportunities.
If you work or manage people in the industry, then your expertise can help improve apprenticeships in horticulture or agriculture.

Who can register as an expert?

We are looking for experts that have current industry experience and subject specific knowledge and skills.

If you work or manage people employed in the industry, you are well placed to ensure assessment materials are fit for purpose and relevant.

You may not necessarily have in-depth knowledge of assessments, as your subject knowledge derives from an employer perspective rather than an academic one.
