I hear from contacts that the forestry and Arboriculture national LANTRA Apprenticeship schemes are currently being revised. Even though the one I picked up from the LANTRA web site was dated for implementation in England and Wales in September 2009, and looks workable to my naive eye. If anyone wants to look at it, its called Apprenticeship/Foundation Modern Apprenticeship in Trees and Timber Framework isue 1.2. I am wondering if the National Apprenticeship Scheme financial grants to employers from Job Centre Plus might end in April, and some other scheme I heard mentioned of called something like "road to return to work", or similar will be put in place instead. I would be interested to know of examples where the National Apprentice Scheme paid out these grants of about £1000 or more to arbirculture or forestry organsitions for an apprentice? I theory these grants should be still available until April, unless the gov funding bucket for it has run out.

Sounds like the old YTS scheme the FC used years ago,I knew a few lads on it when i was living in Kielder back in the early 80`s.
