Is there a time limit on the key skills relaxation rule?
• For candidates registered after 1 August 2004 The relaxation only applies where there is a maximum period of five years between the awards (i.e. the date of the certification of the GCSE or other and the registration date on the apprenticeship framework). • For candidates registered before 1 August 2004 The relaxation only applies where there is a maximum period of three years between the awards (i.e. the date of the certification of the GCSE or other and the registration date on the apprenticeship framework).
