Apprenticeship - learner on a BIL at UNI

Created

None

I'm wondering if anyone can help, we have a learner that wants to do an apprenticeship with us. He started a course at an open University which is funded by student loan, he is currently on a BIL at the University and has stated he wouldn't go back to the Uni course until his apprenticeship is finished.

 

Can he do an apprenticeship with us whilst he's on a BIL?

No, see below

P68.4 Not use a student loan to pay for their apprenticeship. Where an individual transfers to an apprenticeship from a full-time further education or higher education course, and that course has been funded by a student loan, the loan must be terminated by the individual and you must be satisfied that this has occurred.

P79.3 be in receipt of any other direct DfE funding during their apprenticeship programme; this includes any other DfE funded FE / HE programme including programmes funded by a student loan, but excludes funding outlined in P79.2; or

P79.4 undertake any part of an apprenticeship whilst on a sandwich placement as part of a degree programme.
