Age of Apprentice & Employer Contribution

None

We have an apprentice who is transferring from the Level 3 Engineering Fitter Standard to the Level 3 Metal Fabricator Standard. He was 16-18 at the start of his apprenticeship but is now 19 at the date of the transfer. Will the employer be required to make a 5% contribution towards the Fabricator standard due to the apprentice's age?

As these are different standards 377 and 399 respectively it would be a withdrawal and new start as you unable to transfer between different standards. Employer co-investment is not determined by the Apprentices age at start but determined by if the employer is non-levy or a levy payer with insufficient funds.
