Hi Craig, I have found this a bit of a grey area, but it depends when the Transfer was agreed. Rules state as follows:
181. Transferred funds can only be used to pay for training and assessment for
apprenticeship standards, for new apprenticeship starts. A transfer must be
agreed and put in place before an apprentice (being funded by the transfer)
starts their apprenticeship.
You would probably need to check with the helpdesk whether they are happy with it dependant on circumstances. That being said, be aware that if you do backdate the transfer to the start, any Co-Investment that became due in the months before the transfer was put in place, will still be due. Not collecting this will also cause issues with claiming the completion payment.

DAS Funding Change to Levy Transfer
Edited
Hello all,
Can anyone give me a bit of guidance on the below please?
I have an employer who currently has funding for x2 apprentices (started in March 2026) already set up on the DAS.
However, they have now asked whether the apprentices can instead be funded via a levy transfer.
Am I correct in thinking that the employer needs to stop the original records, (backdate them to the start) and then set up the new funding arrangement through the transferring employer?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
