Apprenticeship enrolment - being auditable

You must obtain wet or verifiable electronic signatures as per the funding rule.

There is current COVID-19 flexibility for Wet signatures but this is only a temporary flexibility: Where the provider cannot obtain a wet signature, it retains a record of acknowledgement or adoption of a genuine electronic message or document.

We have a system of students logging in to their college account and digitally "signing" their enrolment details by clicking a button. We can verify it was them because they were logged in with their own password. If you're using a college email address, then I'd argue the verification you're proposing is as robust. Not sure about personal emails. Also, we never send personal details to personal email addresses, as the number of times they've been mistyped/written (where they didn't register online), is ridiculous! We can't risk sending personal details to the wrong person.

We use docusign for our Apprenticeship enrolments. We were using the process of confirmation being sent via email but we much prefer to use Docusign. We also use a similar system like Ruth describes but that is only used for AEB delivery.

Thanks everyone for your responses, that's really helpful.  I've spoken to Docusign just now and think this is just what we're looking for - so thank you for that Kelly.  Thanks again

Just as an alternative, Signable is a lot like Docusign, I think we've used both at times. Like Kelly, that's what we use for apprentices.
