Change of employer-Breakdown of Cost after practical period end

You can still record a training price of £2,935 if the new employer agrees. You've done £17,035 worth of delivery and should receive that. It's not our fault that the completion payment is sometimes a lot higher than the EPA price, and the systems don't account for that.

Absolutely agree with Ruth, here. 

You may have to explain how the funding works to the employer, but hopefully they will agree to fund everything remaining. If not, perhaps you could apply to the DFE for them to fund it, under the condition of "employer unwilling to fund the completion".

Good point Becky, we discussed that change of employer post gateway allowance recently in this thread.

The notes you provided on there are useful, Christina. If the employer just says they're unwilling to support at all, that will likely meet that scenario. I'd be curious about whether there could be a mixed situation, where the new employer agrees to pay for the EPA, and DfE fund the remaining training price.

Ruth Canham-James, a mix of employer/DFE perhaps could be an option. Would be interesting to see if the DFE would agree.

I would also suggest that the employer only agreeing to pay the actual EPA costs, could be taken as "unwilling to pay", if that isn't an acceptable sum for the training provider, and that therefore the full 20% could be requested from the DFE, with the employer not paying anything.
