Apprentice restarting and TNP1 / TNP2

Created

Hi

I don't know about everyone out there but we reply on a software company to provide our integrated ILR and on-line sign-up documentation for our apprentices.

How do you tackle restarts to the same apprenticeship, regardless of gap lets say 3 years in this instance - I had assumed that the new price for TNP1/2 is based on what was originally agreed /less the a funds we have already received. Apparently this is wrong and we should have used the same funding price that was used previously. 

If anyone else is in the same boat - how do you then calculate due co-investment,  bearing in mind some of this may have already been collected / reimbursed  to the last employer. Also our system calculates co-investment based on the agreed price of the apprenticeship which clearly wouldn't be the right amount for restarts if we are meant to use the original price from when they first started.

Also I don't think the ILR guidance is particularly helpful in this area...

thanks

Tracey

The DAS price is going to have to be lower, not the original full price, so the ILR price will have to be lower too. You're going to get capped at the original price minus what you already had, so it would make no sense to record the full TNP again, that's only for restarts after a break (where you can record the Original Start Date). Who told you it's wrong to record just the remaining funds as the price?
