Break in Learning - Attendance with Provider

Just received a response from the ESFA to say that they cannot attend training whilst on a break in learning.

Can they stop you though if you're not claiming funding for it? You definitely wouldn't be able to count it as OTJ. I understand why you'd want to let them so they don't have to catch up if/when they do find a new employer. An auditor might then say that this is prior learning, and you should reduce down the price as a result, as you wouldn't be teaching that as part of the new training plan, you'd be doing it outside of the time they were actually apprentices.

Thanks Ruth, completely agree but we'll just stick to the rules.
