CIHT understands that these are challenging and uncertain times for apprentices and their employers. We want to reassure you that we are still here for you and will respond as best we can to your needs for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are working closely with the Government to stay on top of any advice or new safety measures that can be implemented for your protection. 

As the End Point Assessment Organisation for the Transport Planning Technician Apprenticeship, we will do everything we can to enable apprentices registered on the apprenticeship programme to continue with and complete their End Point Assessment. For employers, these documents set out the Education and Skills Funding Agencies guidance in response to the impact of COVID-19.
