Change of apprenticeship version and training plan

This is the answer I received from the help desk.  
Where an apprentice wishes to move to a new version of a standard, the provider must ensure that this is agreed by them, the apprentice and their employer. The provider must make the apprentice and employer aware of the differences between the version of the apprenticeship the apprentice is registered on, in comparison to the one they are transferring to, in terms of the demands of the standards and the requirements of the end-point assessment plan.
 
The main provider and employer must update both the apprenticeship agreement and the training plan to reflect this agreement.
 
Where an apprentice is moving versions, there will be no change to how their standard is recorded on the ILR; the provider must continue to record them on the ILR on the standard that they started on.
 
Where the apprentice is funded through the apprenticeship service, the provider must ensure that the apprentice’s details in the service are updated to assign them on to the new version.

where you say the apprenticeship agreement and training plan has to be updated - are they referring to signatures as well even if all parties have agreed in an email.

Thanks

Yes, per the below

298. If any circumstances change that affect any agreements, providers and employers must revise existing agreements or create new agreements. This includes but is not limited to: 
298.1. Changes to the apprentice’s programme (including changing to a new version of a standard see paragraphs 327 to 343) 

Hi,

I am wondering should the ILR EPAOrgID be recorded as BPS, the training provider's own EPAO code, or another specified identifier?

I cannot find any guidance on it.
