Potential Apprentice from EU

Created

Hi

we have a potential apprentice that has been back in the country for 5 months, this is her second time here.  She was here for 3.5 years, left for 5 and then has come back 5 months ago. She has a Presettled status – Under European Settlement Scheme. She is aged 24+ is she entitled to Apprenticeship funding?

To be eligible the learner would have to have been resident in the UK or EU for 3 years prior to her start date.

If she was living in the EU for the past three years then great, if not then she won’t be eligible.

I had a learner recently with pre settled. The problem was they had lived some of the past 3 years in Albania and was therefore not eligible.

Hi

she was living in Poland so should be okay?

Yep.

We ask all non UK born learners to evidence this but I'm aware a lot of providers accept a self declaration for the 3 years residency question.
