# The Apprenticeships (Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for Wales) (Modification) Order 2016, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is made under section 29(1) of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”). This Order modifies the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for Wales (the ‘SASW’) which was originally brought into effect in May 2013 by the Apprenticeships (Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for Wales) Order 2013.
The SASW specifies the requirements that must be met for recognised Welsh apprenticeship frameworks to be issued under section 19(1) of the 2009 Act.
The effect of this Order is to modify the SASW in the manner set out in the Schedule to this order.
To assist the reader the Welsh Ministers have published a consolidated version of SASW which incorporates the modifications shown in the Schedule to this Order.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.
