Does this make the level 1/off road ratio for "bikeability" and "national standard cycle training" different or has the national standard ratio also changed?
Good question. The ratio is relevant to for Bikeability delivery and mentioned in the Bikeability delivery guidance. The (new) NS doesn't mention ratios but references 'delivery guidance'. Different courses that base content on the NS (such as SUD) may opt to deliver with different ratios to Bikeability

I've always considered the SUD training a driver training course as there is no explicit expectation for instructors to teach or observe national standard outcomes beyond using them as a tool to gague safe participation by delegates, while the skills we have as instructors overlap in areas the level 3 elements/expectations are ignored allowing for 2:12 "level 2 ratios" despite level 3 situations being discussed/taught and at times where possible cycled/experienced by delegates.
Clockwise
Good to see the ratio lowered for level 1 from 15 to 12 in the bikeability delivery guide. Does this make the level 1/off road ratio for "bikeability" and "national standard cycle training" different or has the national standard ratio also changed?
Old national standard documents.
