I suppose the main difference with employer contributions between Bootcamps and Apprenticeships, is that for the latter you have to record them on ILR as PMR. LDM356 removes the need to record those payments where the trainee is employed by the provider - in Bootcamps there is no requirement to record employer contributions on the ILR.
In the Evidence section of the Funding & Performance Management Guidance it states that you need evidence of employer contributions, but it seems a bit daft evidencing that you've paid yourself as a employer/provider. Not sure if any other providers have come across this scenario?
Thanks
Page 13 of the guidance states "evidence of employer contributions (as appropriate)". I would have thought that a note on file was sufficient but you might need to check with ESFA if there is an exact format/detail required. The words 'as appropriate' hopefully give the leeway required for a common-sense solution.

Skills Bootcamp - Delivery to own employees

Hi, If we deliver skills bootcamp provision to our own employees, would we be exempt from paying the contribution as we would be if they were completing an apprenticeship? There doesn't seem to be an LDM code, so I assume not.
Thanks
