Change of Employer - DAS

Created

None

Hello All,

I have updated a change of employment status in the ILR for a learner who has moved employer.

How would we go about making this change on DAS?

Providing there was a gap of less than 30 days between the learner leaving 'employer 1' and starting with 'employer 2', you'd also need to ensure you add a new apprenticeship FAM type if the contract is different (e.g. if 'employer 1' was 'ACT1' and 'employer 2' was 'ACT2'). If it isn't different, there's no need to update it. You'll also need to ensure new TNP lines are added (TNP3 and TNP4 for residual training and assessment costs, respectively).

As far as DAS is concerned, 'employer 1' would need to enter a stop date for the learner on their digital account; this should correspond with the date the apprentice left their employ. 'Employer 2' can then add the learner onto their digital account, and providing the ILR information tallies, everything should be okay.

What Ben said is right. Another way of updating the Apprenticeship Service is for employer1 to stop the learner, employer2 gives permission to the training provider to create a cohort, then the training provider can update the details and make a 'change of employer request' for employer2 to approve. It's sometimes easier to update the details yourself and just let the employer approve!
