GROUP TRAINING ASSOCIATION LIMITED
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
APPRENTICES
The Group Training Association tendered for a Governmeni funded contra¢1 wilh Education and Skills
Funding Agency. This Government legislated contract has an important siErtifi¢ance io the Group Training
Association as il accounls for over sixty percent of the course income funding. In June 2017 the Group
Training Asso¢iation was awarded Governmeni funding appretiiice training contracr for levy paying
employer5 despite fierce ¢omp¢tition from colleges and other training organisations that opernte on a
national basis.
Since 2017 there have been continu¢d changes to every part of an apprenticeship from th¢ funding through to
ass¢ssment and qualifications. Implemented by the Educarion and Skills Funding Agency Appreniiceship
Frameworks will no longer be funded from 31 July leaving only Apprenticeship Standards approved for
Govemmenl fi]nding. Wilh the introduction of a tTaining levy for larger employers and changes to funding
for medium io small employers. Standards are siructured with an emph&sis on end testing for assessment of
an apprentices competence. However the lack of available standards for some motor vehicle specialisms i.e.
Aut￿ElectrIcal means we are unable currently to recnjit apprentic¢s for some of these disciplines. This is
likely to have a negative impact on the recruitmeni of apprentices, and subsequently income, of the Group
Training Asso¢iation. The covi[￿19 Pandemic has also had severe impact on employers recruiting
apprentices. Data published by ihe Department for Education has shown a dramatic drop in available
vacancies advertised for apprenli¢e5hips. In May 2020 there had been a reduction of 85Yo nationally in
available opportunities &s compar¢d io the previou5 year. May 2019 12.580 and May 2020 1.850.
The training Programme's success is M￿Sured by the rtUM￿r of Learners on programme and the attaitiment
of Apprenticeship Frameworks achi¢v¢d in th¢ir reSp￿tIve career spxiali5m. The larg¢ts are ¢hallenging
and, due to the continuing difficuli trading that garages are experiencing combined with the impact of the
pandemi¢ and now the reduction in approved apprenticeship standards for the motor industry. there is a
reduced uptak¢ in apprenlice work placements that is affecting apprenlice numbe￿ on our training
programme. Th¢ Qualift¢aiion Award Bodies inspection regime (IMI. OCR, SQA, EDI, RTITB. JAUPT and
City & Guilds) audit all Group Training Association qualification systems and PTocedur¢5 in order to grnnt
Iheir approval to provide a ￿1[ qualifiration Structure for the students. A Group Training Assorialion
Management Team will complete quality audits and assessments to idenlify and address any ¢oncerns.
The Group Training A550cialion opened a Training Centre in Sheffield in September 2007 to enable it to
take up a contraci with Sheffield LEA to deliver motor vehicle vocarional programmes for schools in the
Sheffield region. She(field LEA has once again re-contracted with ihe Group Training A550ciaiion for the
academic year from Seplember 2019 to July 2020. The Group Training Association also has forty four
apprentices following their training progrdmmes at the Sheifield Centre..
The Group Training Association is Continually seeking to offer addiliona] trdining to enhance the range of
training work. Changes io the ¢ar testing regime by the Governrnent offered opw)rtunities for the Group
Tiaining Association to b¢¢om¢ involved in providing training for prospective car and rnotorcy¢l¢ MOT
testing. The Group Training Association has purch&sed all the required equipment to enabl¢ the provision of
the MOT testing and &ssessment.
With the introduction of the new appr¢nti¢eship Standards and the requirement for new end poinl
&ssessmenis by a s¢parat¢ End Point Asse55ment centre (EPA) the Group Training Association has identified
the possible need for ihis apprenticeship Service for existing manufactures on the Doncaster site for light and
heavy vehiele LS well as panel and paint.
We have also invested in equipment to operdle the IMI Accreditation DSVA MOT quaiificalions to include
Servi¢e T¢¢hnician, Vehicle Air Conditioning, Vehicle Ir￿pectIon and Vehicle Refinishing from our
Doncaster Centre. Motorcycle ATA was approved to operate from our Sheffield Centre by IMI during 2013
and again in 2019.

SCHOOLS PROGRAMMES
The Group Training Asswiarion has been providing motor vehicle vocational training progrdfflrnes for
schools in South Yorkshire at its Training Centres and at school premi5C5 for a number of y¢ars. Due to
¢hang¢s in the Governtnent League Tables for schools these programmes have again reduced in numb¢TS.
Ai present some ten schools have programmes operated by the Group Training Association with no School
learners at th¢ Doncaster Centre and thirty eight sctrLooI learners at the Sheffield Centre.
Due to the Gov¢mment's Spending Review limiting the budgets of schools and changes to the qualifi¢aiion
points systetns, schools are continuing to review their vocational programmes and are reducing ihe number
of learn¢r5 on Ihese programmes.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
In 2016 The Sheffield Local Authority enquired if the Group Training Association was able lo provide
conmruction training for learn¢rs Still at school. The Group Training Association started a pilot schetne on
¢onslruclion training in 2018 as consequence an additional vo¢aiiotth]ly experienced tutor has been employed
to operate this programme.
OTHER TRAINING PROGRAMMES
In August 2016 the Group Training Association took the decision lo apply for diTe¢t approval and to produce
a]1 of its own training material for Driver certifi￿t¢ of Compei¢nre (Driver CPC). This has been
su¢¢¢ssfvlly carried out and the Group Training Asso¢iation h&$ direct approva] to operate the Driver CPC
courses via JAUPT. Ten days of ￿urseS were re-approved in August 2020.
SAFEGUARDII¥G, PREVENT & BRITISH VALUES
The GTA considers employee and leamer involvement is essential to its continuing su¢¢ess and uses a
variety of rnethods to inform, cotL%ult and involve employ¢¢s and learners. These include questionnaires,
meetings, Every Child Matters, P￿vent Duties, Safeguardin& British Values, Radicalisation Awareness and

IUSK MANAGEMENT
The Council confirnis that systems have been e5tabli5hed to identify any major risks lo which the Company
may k exposed and the perceived risks are monthly to mitiwe these risks.
A Treasurer's report is presented as a fixed and forniai agenda item at the Council's bi-monthly meetings.
Funds held for inv¢5tment are confirmed at this meetin& Art annuaj review of Internal Financial Controls
using the Charity Commission s¢lf-¢hecklist is carried out and evaluated against guidelines.
Th¢ Council has reviewed spending and investment policies and maintained a reduced capital spending
progTamTne over the past few years. this has etiabled the organisation to maintsin a yearly Surplus of in¢ome
ov¢r exp¢nditure until this firwicial year when a small deficit has been recorded. Redevelopment of the
Doncaster Forklift Truck Centre into a new training Centre for Training and Educaiional purposes is ￿ing
Co￿ldered &s w¢ll a5 the possibl¢ improvements to other premises that the organisation owns. Th¢
Organisation still has a clear on exlending the area that the Company operates in to inCre￿e the amount
of business into the ¢ompany. R¢-dcv¢lopment in Doncaster will involve substantial capital expendiiure to
be sourced from the organisations own fund5.
Over the past few years staff levels have been reduced io reflect the reduciion in income received by the
Company. Staff numbers are now stable but due lo the finan¢iat impa¢t a review of staff requirements will
be ¢arried out in 2020-2021.
The council have also explored th¢ utili5ation of the GTA'S &ss¢ts and in-porti¢ular buildings and propety.
The funds raised from the le&sing propeTty is expecied io be reinvested into the apprentice programme.
providing much needed financial stability at a lim¢ wh¢re the biggest changes in apprenticeships have been
made since the introduction of the Modern Appr¢nti¢e5hip which started in the early 1990's.

RKPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
The invesiment policy for Surplus monies was reviewed in 201 l and an account w&8 opened with Lloyds
Bank that has produced improved interest rdt¢5 for deposits. These interest rate5 from Lloyds h&ve now
reduced and ar¢ ¢los¢r to the rat¢5 0ff¢red by Barclay5. Th¢ Council decided to increas¢ th¢ dtposii amounts
in Lloyds over ihe coming months and mainlain a good reserve of Fnonies to minimise possible ¢ash flow
problems due to the economic climate following the changes in Apprenticeship furmling and Britain's
decisions to leave the European Union.
MAIN RISKS
The continued changes to the Apprentice qualification structure and ESFA payment system which are
expected through 201912020 and into 2021 may have an impact on achievement rates. apprentice recruitment
and financial iftcome. All employers now have to adjust to using the Digital Account Service (DAS) for
funding appreTrli¢¢ship5.
With the introdu¢iion of the apprenticeship Stsndards and the existing Framework5 froln July 2020 no longer
being fijnded this has created extra burden on employers which previously did not extst. Employers are now
responsible for funding setup and all￿&10￿5 for apprenticeships. Thi5 is proving more problemari¢ for
smaller employers who not nec¢ssarily have the tirne or resource to perfonn these processes.
Due to the raising of the school leaving age and the large number of school learners who have not achiev¢d a
grade A to C or 4 10 9 in GCSE English and Maths. the Government h&$ made it an apprentice Contraci
requirement that 0]] apprtnti¢es are taught English and Math5 UP to Level 2.
The Edu¢aiion & Skills Funding Agency introduced a minimum contract value (MCV) for contracting with
training suppliers. This was initially set at £500,000 for 2011-12 contract period and has remained constant
since then for each contract year bLrt may Incre￿ in following years. The MCV at present doe5 not impa¢t
on th¢ Group Training Association contract value, but may in future years unless the GTA is able to maintain
and increase apprentice numbers via the current Standarts offered and by increasing and the diversity of
apprenticeships offered.
With the increase in th¢ school leaving age schools are en¢our8ging leamers to stay in s¢hool rather than take
up an apprenticeship. This hLs l¢d to s¢hools starting to Sel up iherr own motor vehi¢le workshops to keep
vocational training within the school premises.
Due to the Govemmeni's Spending Review lirniting the budg¢is of schools attd Changes to Ihe qualification
points 5yslems. in 2014 there approximately 3000 approved courses by Ofqual. there are now between
20(k300. S¢hools are reviewing their motor vehicle vocational programmes and are reducing the number of
learners on these programme5.
In order to reduce the risk to income and exp¢nditur¢ ihe Group TraÈrting Ass(Kiation:_
> Monitors the ESFA conlracl progr&ssion on a monthly basis in order to ensure that it is delivering
againsi contra¢t requirements.
> Employ5 Staff in a specific marketing role to engage apprentice placement cotnpanies in ord¢r to
maintain and if possible increase apprentice numbers.
> Has expanded the geographical area that it operates ir* for apprenticeships.
> Has continued to contain costs associated with the companies opeNion whi151 income has reduGed.
> Has a renewed focus on the company's electronic sysiem5 atMI social media for marketing purposes.
> Continues to monitor the motor and logistics sector for changes manufactures trends, advancing
technologies. ¢hanges in government legislaiion and public opinion.
The short and long term effects on ihe economy due to COVID-19 pandemic are Siill unknown and are likely
to have a negalive impact on the motor trade and trdining industy for some time to wme.
To reduce this risk the GTA continue to operate within the constraints of Government guidance. changing
our delivery methods and adapting to the ever changing climate in an attempt to stabilise the delivery of
training.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year uthler review resources expended have exceeded incoming resources by £73,947, ¢ompar¢d
to a deficii of £102.263 in 2019. an improvement of £28.316. Although totsi income has fallen in the year
by £29,302, expenditure has also fallen by £57.618, to g5ve ihe net redu¢iion in the defi¢it of £28.316. The
Council is carefully monitoring proje¢t¢d income and exp¢ndi¢ure levels to ¢nsur¢ thai the GTA continues to
hav¢ a finaDcia]ly viable operation. It should be noted that there is a surplus before depreciation of £22,995
compared to a defi¢it of £2,687 in 2019. This mea￿$ that even in this m05t difficult of years due to the viru&
the GTA has Siill generated a positive cash flow from its operations.
RESERV￿ POLICY
The Group Training AssociatioTh resetves at the year•end are represented by the accumulated fund of
£5,466,982 (2019 - £5.540,929) shown on the balance sheet. Of this amount, £3.541,415 (2019 -
£3,485,743) is represenled by the Company's fixed assets. inwesthient and working capital. The Group
Training Association free Teserves are represented by cash held at the bank amounting to £1.925,567 {2019 -
£2,055,186). The free reserves are held at this level because ihe Council aJe particularly mindful of the
operating costs of Motor Vehicle Training Workshops and in particular the promotion of a saf¢ environment
for training in vehicle bLxJy repair and paint operations, not to mention unforeseen circumstances.
The level of free reseryes therefore held and available to be applied io the council's discretion in furtherance
of the Ch3rity'5 objects. is detern]ined by reference to the specific requirements for capital and refurbishmcnt
expenditure in the short and medium lerni logether with contingency plans io meet any urgent Training
Centre financiat requir¢m¢nts and contingencie5. In particular. the Coun¢il are considering..
(a) the redevelopment of the Doncaster Fotklift Truck building (although on hold for the time being)
(b) purchasing a property in Sheffield to replace the current rented property when its lease expires in either
2021 (due io the break clause) or 2022 (Ihe end of the l¢as¢)-

DONCASTER ROTHERHAM AND DISTRICT MOTOR TRADES
GROUP TIL41NING ASSOCIATION LIIIUTED
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE
YEAR ENDED JI JULY 2020
{d) the renovation of classrooms, s¢h¢dul¢d for 2021
It is the prudent purchase and construction of property from pasi surpluses which has created a sound
financial basis for the GTA, since otherwise there would be a large exposure to rental liabilities. It is aiso
considered that the level of free reserves is necessary to cover any deficits that may arise in the fijture from a
loss of revenue arising from cofflpanies or other institutions cutting back their training progrdmmes, as nol¢d
in the"Main Risk" section of this report. The downtum in income in certain pasi years demonstrates that
Ihis 15 not a theoretical risk.
Although ihe impact of the coronaviru5 h&s not had a particularly adverse financial impact so far, it does
demonstrate that it is impossible io PTedict what is "round ih¢ corner" however. the level of reserves held by
the GTA does mean that the GTA should be able io deal with any unforeseen liabilities thai mighi arise in
the ￿tllre.
INVESTMENT POLICY
Short-terni fijnds are principally invested on the rnoney markets. with other monies being held in bank
deposits. Th¢ potential risks in the Stock Market were recognised by the Council in October 2007 when the
Council decid¢d to liquidate its investment portfolio with Barclays Bank Plc. Since then, the company has
only invested in bank and money market deposits. When interest rates were high. this produced a g¢Jod return
for the GTA bui ih¢ ¢onlinuing decrease in interest rates h&$ meant that the company's income from interest
has continued to decrea8¢ ovcr the year& to what is now a very low figure in relation to the amounts held.
Current deposits ar¢ held with Bartlays Bank PIC and Lloyds Bank Plc.
If these bank8 decide to stop paying inlere5L the Council will have to consider alternative in5titution5 if il is
lo obiain investment income in the ￿l￿re. The Group Training Association inviies Barclays Bank PIC (with
whom it ha5 a thirty nine year history of b8nktng) and Lloyds Bank PIC to its Annual General Meeting to
discuss longer terni investment fun¢ls along with th¢ Auditor5.
At the Annual Gen¢ral Meetin& Senior Bank personnel attend on invitation from the Council together with
the Auditor, who is &sked to pr¢s¢nt the Annual accounts and make comment. These valued observations
and advice are irnplemented by the Council at the meeting following the Annual General Meeting anij
