Funding Reservation - Increased FBL from Sep-23
Created
I'm hoping someone here may have come across this issue before.
We are delivering the Installation and Maintenance Electrician Standard which has a new FBL of £20k (currently £18k) from 03/09/2023. We are getting employer permissions/reservations in place on the Apprenticeship Service that start after 4th September but this message is visible to the employer(s) - "The price for this apprenticeship is above its funding band maximum of £18,000. You'll need to ask the employer to pay the difference directly to you- this can't be funded from their account" and some are reluctant to approve the reservation which is understandable.
My questions is, will this message disappear once past 3rd September and the new FBL kicks in? We are adding the correct information so I can't see a way around it anyway but hopefully this is the case.
I've raised this with the Apprenticeship Service already but just thought I'd see if anyone has experience of this previously.
