A new Skills England survey is now live, inviting employers, providers and sector partners to give feedback on the updated assessment approach for the ST0198 Level 3 Food Industry Technologist Apprenticeship.

Before the survey launch, CQM T&C have been actively engaging with the National Skills Academy for Food and Drink (NSAFD) and other stakeholders to discuss maintaining real occupational competence, understanding employer concerns and exploring improvements without compromising quality. 

The survey provides a valuable opportunity for employers, providers and industry stakeholders to share their views on how the apprenticeship assessment should develop.

Feedback gathered through this survey will help shape the future of the standard and ensure it continues to meet the needs of current industry expectations.

We encourage all employers, providers and stakeholders involved in the Food Industry Technologist apprenticeship to take part in the survey and share their insights.

The survey closes on 21st June 2026.
