'Historic Environment Practitioner' a proposed new Apprenticeship

Last year a group of employers and organisations was successful in securing Trailblazer status under a Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) scheme to establish apprenticeships in Historic Environment Practice.
The proposal is to establish an overarching qualification - "Historic Environment Practitioner" -which will provide the basis for a number of defined specialist pathways:

Historic Environment Practitioner (Advice) – provides advice on all aspects of the historic environment from conservation areas to archaeological sites and collections.
Historic Environment Practitioner (Investigation) – undertakes investigation, analysis and interpretation of historic environment assets from historic buildings through historic landscapes to the excavation of archaeological sites and collections.
Historic Environment Practitioner (Management) –undertakes the management of historic environment assets, whether historic buildings, historic landscapes or archaeological sites and collections, ensuring that their use is sustainable and consistent with their conservation needs.
