The spreadsheet below has been designed to inform you of the transition from the current 'Blueprint compliant' frameworks and the new 'SASE (Specification for Apprenticeship Standards in England) compliant' frameworks.

For more information please read below.
New SASE framework information
The information in the green table will indicate when new SASE (Specification for Apprenticeship Standards in England) is made available by issuing authorities and importantly, the date when NAS and the Skills Funding Agency make the frameworks available for funding.
Funding information
Also within the green table you will see information about indicative funding rates. We have set indicative rates for delivery of new SASE compliant frameworks both on and before 1 August 2011. Where new SASE frameworks directly replace current provision, we will continue to fund them at the existing Blueprint rate until the 31 July 2011.
Current Blueprint framework information
The information in the yellow table will help you to understand the timescales for the removal of current Blueprint compliant frameworks. Important note: Where a Blueprint framework has NQF qualifications in its framework, we have allowed a period of four weeks dual running. For clarification on when a current framework expires please use the data supplied in the 'Last date for new starts' column.
This information will be updated when new SASE compliant frameworks are added or current Blueprint frameworks are removed.
