APPRENficES
The Group Training Asswiaiion tendered for a Govemment funded contract with the Education and
Skills Funding Ag¢n¢y. This Government legislated contract has an important significance to the
Group Trdining ASs￿latIon as it a¢¢ounts for over sixty percent of ihe c4)urse income funding. In
June 2017 the Group Training Asso¢iation was award¢d Gov¢rnment funding appr¢nti¢¢ trnining
contract for levy paying employers despite fierce COTllFCtition from college5 and other irnining
organisations that operate on a national basis. The 'Regist¢r of Approv￿ Training Providers,
(ROATP) was refreshed in December 2021. requiring all approved provideTS to re-apply under new.
stri¢ier conditions. The Group Training AsK￿la170n was successful in ils re-application.
Since 2017 there have been continued change5 to every part of an apprenticeship from the funding
Ihrough to assessmertt and qualifications. Implemented by the Education and Skills Funding Agency,
Appr¢nli¢eship Frameworks will no longer be funded from 31 July 2020 leaving only Apprenticeship
Stsndards approved for Government funding. A training levy w&$ inirrNJuced for larger employers

and there were also Changes to funding for medium to small employe￿. Standards are structured with
an emphasis on end testing for a55e55ment of an apprentice'5 competence. However. the lack of
available standards for some motor vehicle specialiswns i.e.. Auto-Electrical means we are unable
currenily to recruit apprentices for some of ihe5e disciplines. This is likely to have a negative impact
on the recruitment of appreniices. and subsequenily income. of the Group Training Association. The
COVID-19 Pandemic 2019-2021 is continuing io have an impa¢1 on employers r¢¢ruiling apprentices.
The training programme's success is measured by the number of Le*rners on programme and the
attainment of Standards achi¢ved in ih¢ir respeclive weer specialism. The targets are challenging
and, due to the continuing difficult tradtng that garag¢s are ¢xperi¢n¢ing combined with th¢ impact of
the panderni¢ and now the reduction in approved apprenticeship standards for the motor industry,
there is a reduced uptake in apprenlice work placements ihai is affecting apprentice numbers on our
training progrAmme. The Qualification Award Bodies inspection regime (IMI, (KR, SQA, EDI.
RTITB, JAupf. SEG and City & Guilds) audit Group Trdining As%)ciation qualification 5yslern5
and procedures in ord¢r io grani their approval to provide a full qualification structure for the students.
A Group Training Association Martage￿ent Team will ￿Mple1¢ quality audits and a$5¢ssments to
identify and address any concerns.
The Group Training Associalion opened a Training Centre in Sheffield in September 2￿7 to enable it
to take up a contra¢1 with Sheffield LEA to deliver motor vehicle vocationa] programmes for schools
in the Sheffield r¢gion. Sheffield LEA has once again re-conlracted with the Group Training
Association for the academic year from Sepi¢mixr 2022 to July 2023. The Group Trnining
Association a]so has thirty four apprentices following their training programmes at the Sheffleld
Centre.
With the introduction of the new apprenticeship Standards and the requirement for new end point
assessments by a separat¢ End Point Asse55ment centre (EPA), Ihe Group Training Association
identified ihat there was a need for this apprenticeship service for other institutions and existing
manufaolur¢5 on ihe Doncaster site for light and heavy vehicle as well as panel and paint. Since 2021
the Group Trdining Asso¢iation has offered its asses5menl 5eryices via the IMI.
We have also continued to inve51 in equipment to 0￿rate various IMI qualifications and End Point

Due ￿ the Govemmeni's Spending Review limiting the budgets of schools and changes to the
qualification poinis systems, schwls are continuing to review their vocaiional programm¢s and a
reducing the number of leam¢rs on these programmes.
In 2016 The Sheffield Lo¢al Authority enquired if the Group Training Association was able to
provide construction training for learners Slill ai s¢hool. The Group Training AS￿¢latiOn started a
pilot scheme on construction training in 2018 as consquence an additional vocationally experienced
tutor has been employed to operate this programtne which has continued to grow in 2020.
OTHER TRAINING PROGRAMMES
In August 2016 the GrOl￿ Training Association took the d¢¢ision io apply for di￿1 approval and to
produce all of its own training material for Driver Cenificaie of Competence (Driv¢r CPC). This has
been successfully carried out and the Group Training Association h&$ direct approval to operate the
Driver CPC courses via JAUFf. Ten days of courses were re-appioved in August 2022.
SAFEGUARDING, PREVEKf & BRrrisH VALUES
The GTA considers that employee and learner involvement is essential to its continuing success and
use5 a variety of methods to infoTm. consult and involve employees and leamers. These include
questionnaires, meetings, Every Child Matters, Prevent Duties, Safeguardin& Briiish Values.
Radicali5ation Awareness and E-safety. Th¢ Group Training Association has an appointed
Safeguarding Lead and Deputy reswtrnsibl¢ for all Equality. Diversity, Prevent and Safeguarding.

people are subject to DBS checks. In addition, we have held ihe Investors in People Award since
1994, for which w¢ w¢r¢ re-aG¢redited in January 2020.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Council ¢onfLmis thai systems have been established to identify any major risks to which the
Company may be exposed and the perceived risks ar¢ r¢vi¢w¢d monthly to mitigale these risk5.
A Treasurer's report is presenied 18 8 fixed and fornal agenda item at the Council's bi-monthly
me¢tings. Funds held for investmeni are confLrm¢d at this meeling. An arknua] review of Intemal
Financial Contro15 Using the Charity Commission self-che¢klist is carried oul and eValua￿d against
guidelines.
The Council has reviewed spending and investment policies and maintained a reduced capital
spending programme over th¢ pa￿ few years. Thi5 has enabled the organisation to maintain a yearly
surplus of income over exkKndilure until this financial year when a small deficit has been recorded.
Re-development of the Doncaster Forklift Truck Centre inlo a new training Centre for Training and
Edurationai is still a consideration.
The organisation still has a clear fo¢us on ¢xt¢nding the geographical area ihat the Company operates
in to increase the amount of business into the company. Re-development and option to purchase Unit
3 Rands Lane in 2023 in Donwter will involve substantial ¢apitai exp¢nditur¢ to b¢ sourced from th¢
organisaiion'5 own fvnds.
Staff numbers are now stable. however. due to the financia] impact of the continued reduction in
ESPA fundin& a review of staff requirements will k carried out in 2022-2023.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
The council have a150 explored the utilisation of the GTA'S assets and in-particular buildings and
property. The funds raised from the le&sing property is expected to be reinvested into the apprentice
programme, providing much needed financial thbility at a lime where the biggest changes in
appienti¢¢ships hkv¢ b¢¢n made since the introduction of the Modern Apprenticeship which started in
the early 1990's.
The investment policy for surplus monies w&s r¢vi¢wed in 2011 and an a¢￿UllI was opened with
Lloyd5 Bank that has produced improved interest rates for deposits. Th¢se int¢resi rates from Lloyds
have now reduced and are closer to the rates offered by Bar¢lays. The COU￿71 mainiains a substantial
reserve of monies to minimise possible cash flow problems due to the economic climate following
changes in Appr¢nii¢eship funding and Britain's d<rision5 to leave the European Union.
￿sKs
The ¢OMinued changes to the apprenticeship sttucture and ESFA funding system tkrough 2022f2023
may have an impact on achievement rates, apprentice recruitment and financial income. All
employers now have to adjust to using the Digitsl Account Setvice (DAS) to direct Government
funding lo the GTA for their apprenticeship training.
With the introduction of the apprcnlireship Standard5 and ihe existing Framework5 from July 2020 no
longer being funded. this has created exira burdens on employers which previously did not exist.
Employ¢rs are now responsible for funding seiup and all(KatiO￿ for apprenticeships. This is proving
more problemaiic for s¥naller employers who not necessarily have the time or reSOUT¢e to F¢rfoTTn
these processes. This has cons¢quently increased the load on the GTA who have provided more siaff
time allocated to guiding ¢mploy¢rs.
Du¢ to th¢ raising of the School leaving age and the large number of school learners who have not
achieved a grade 4 to 9 in GCSE English and Maihs. Ihe Government ha5 made it an apprentice
contracl requiremeni that all apprentices are laught English Maths up to L£vel 2.
With the increase in the school leaving age schools are encouraging learners to stay in school rather
than take up an app￿￿tiC¢shIp. This has led to ￿h0O]S slarting to sel up iheir own motOT vehicl¢
workshops to keep vocalional iraining within the school premises.
Due to the Government's Spending Review limiting the budgets of schools and changes to the
qualification points systems, in 2014 there was approximately 31XKJ approved CQUTse5 by Ofqual. th¢re
are now between 2{￿3(m). Schools are reviewing their motor v¢hi¢l¢ vo￿tiOnal programmes and are
reducing the number of learners on these programmes.
In order to reduce ihe risk to income and expenditure the Gri>up Training Associalion'.-

The short artd long temi eff¢¢ls on the economy due to COVID-19 pandemic are still unknown and
are likely to have a n¢gative impact on the motor trade and training industry for some time io come.
To reduce this risk the GTA ¢oniinue to operate within the constraints of Governrnent guidance.
changing our delivery m¢ihods and adapling to the ever-changing climate in an attempt to stabilise the
delivery of training.
Another risk to the GTA'S operations is the gov¢rnmeni's drive to promote ele¢tri¢ ¢aTS and in 2020,
sales of new alternalively fuelled cars outsold their diesel engine counterparts for the first time. This
will have a major impact on the motor trade and in particular, the demand for apprenticeships and the
nature of the training provided. The GTA is well placed to provide the relevant training but the
impact on the nurn￿r of apprenti￿ShipS is a5 yet unclear. As a result. the GTA is looking to irKrease

RESERVES POLICY
The Group Trdining Association reserves at lh¢ year<nd are represented by the accumulated fund of
£5,401,033 (2021- £5.456,633) shown on th¢ balance she¢t. Of ihis amounL £3,695,507 (2021
£3,541,090) is represented by the Company's fixed ￿sets. investhieni and working capiial. The
Group Training Association free reserves are represented by held ￿ the bank amounting to
£1.705,426 (2021- £1.915,543). The free reseThes are held ai this level because the Council are
partiGularly mindful of the operdting costs of Motor Vehicle Training Workshops and in particular the
promotion of a saf¢ environmeni for training in vehicle body repair and paint operation5, not to
mention unforeseen circumstances.
The level of free reserves therefore held and available to b¢ 8ppli¢d to the ¢oun¢il's discretion in
furtherance of the Charity's objects. is deterniined by reference io the specific requiremenis for capital
and refurbishment expendilure in the short and medium temi together wilh contingency plans to meet
any urgent Training Centre financia] requirements and coniingencies. In particular. the Council are
considering:
(a) Further development and expar￿lon of the Apprentittship End Point Assessm¢ni iooling and
equipmertt to include more apprenticeship routes.
(b) The GTA has an option to purch&se a unit currently renied in tk)nc&ster when the le￿e
expires in 2023.
(c) Upgradinglmcdernising th¢ tknncast¢r Training CenlTe exterior.
It is the prudent purchase and construction of property from past surplus¢s whirh has ¢r¢#t¢d a sound
financial baqis for the GTA, since otherwise there would be a large ex￿)SUre to rental liabilitie5. It is
also considered that the level of free reserves is n¢c¢55ary to cover any defi¢itS that may arise in the
future from a1055 of revenue arising from companies or oth¢r insiilutions cutting ba¢k ih¢ir ITaining
programmes, as noted in the-main Risk" section of this repr￿1. The downturn in income in certain
p&st years demonstrates that this is nol a theoretical risk.
Although the impact of the coronavirus did not have a particularly adv¢rse finan¢ial impact on the
GTA, it does d¢tnonslrate it is impossible to predict what is" round the corner". However. the
level of reserves held by the GTA do¢$ m¢an that the GTA should be #ble to deal with any unforeseen
liabilities or adverse fIr￿l¢la1 circumstsnces that might arise in the futur¢.
tNVESTMENT POIJCY
Short-term fund5 are principally invested on the money markets. wilh other monies being held in bank
deposits. The potential risks in the Stock Market were re¢0￿1￿ by th¢ Coun¢il in (ktob¢r 21X)7
when the Council decided to liquidate its invesmient portfolio with Barclays Bank Plc. Since then,
the company has oftly inv¢sted in bank and money market deposits. When interest rates were high.
this produced a good reiurn for the GTA but the decrease in interest rdtes to historically incredibly
low levels meant that the company's income from interest has continued to decrease over the
year5. to what is now a very low figure in rel￿10n to the amounts held. Current deFOSits are held with
Barclays Bank PIC and (primarily} Lloyds Bank Pl¢.
However. recent months have seen an irtere￿ in interest rates and GTA funds will be placed on
d¢posits with higher rates of interest as they become available for r¢-inv¢stm¢nt. The Group Training
Association invites Barclays Bank PIC (with whom it h&$ a foty year history of banking) and Lloyds
Bank PIC to its Annual General Meeting to discuss longer tern) investm¢n¢ funds along with th¢
Auditors.
