The Post-Apprenticeship Recognition Scheme, also known as PARS, is a certification granted to completed apprentices in the United Kingdom. It was created recognise the unique educational route and skills gained throughout an apprenticeship, in addition to advocating for parity of esteem between apprenticeships and other learning options such as full-time higher education.[1]
The Post-Apprenticeship Recognition Scheme was launched in November 2023.[2][3] The launch event was at the House of Lords, with notable attendees including Baron Lingfield, Peter Estlin and Jason Holt.[4]
The first awards were bestowed at Mansion House in 2024 during National Apprenticeship Week.[5]
