The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) was an employer led organisation that helped shape technical education and apprenticeships in the United Kingdom. They did so by developing, reviewing and revising occupational standards that form the basis of apprenticeships and qualifications such as T Levels. Post 16 and Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs). It was funded by the Department for Education of the Government of the United Kingdom.

In 2024, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that Skills England would take over the function of IfATE, over the course of nine months. On 1st June 2025 IfATE was abolished and on 2nd June 2025 Skills England was formally established as an executive agency.
