What you've suggested sounds fine, assuming all parties have agreed those costs. Strictly speaking you're not meant to just use the funding band maximum as a starting point, rather the cost of delivery should be negotiated UP to that point.. but in reality a lot of providers do charge top whack, and then just deduct the EPA cost (adding as TNP2) once it's known.

Funding Rules: Aug 21-Jul 22 - EP98.1 clarification
Edited
EP98.1 clarification states EPA costs must not be in TNP1 on the ILR.
I've always put this in TNP2, however, when costing an Apprenticeship I have deducted the cost of EPA from the max funding band (if applicable) and put that cost in TNP2.
e.g. TNP1 £3600 for the delivery of the apprenticeship, TNP2 £900 the cost of the EPA, totalling the max funding band of £4500, is that still correct?
