Change of employer RPL details on DAS

Created

None

Just as a sense check.. what are people recording in the 'Provide recognition of prior learning (RPL) details' on DAS when they're processing an employer change? 

Example:

  • The original price for employer 1 was £14000
  • we've calculated that the total price for employer 2 should is £8960 (TNP1 - £7450, TNP2 - £1510)
  • The difference/'reduction' is therefore £5040.

Are people entering this difference in those prices in the 'How much have you reduced the apprenticeship price by due to RPL?', and what about the 'How many weeks have you reduced the apprenticeship duration by due to RPL?'

Good question as I had not realised that this rule applies when they change employers although as the rule only applies to new starts after 1/8/2022 as it is not included as an exception for starts prior to this or is it?

If it is required for a change of employer whatever you returned for the first employer may have reduced the CAP dure to RPL and this will need to be included in the calculation, or will it?

Do you start with the CAP/ reduced CAP from the first employer, or the CAP remaining for the next employer and then apply any new APL if any has been identified at the start for the next employer?

Its all getting a bit complicated and needs a few questions answered by the Apprenticeship Service.

In the Apprenticeship service - upload specifications for the new fields it states: Data entered for apprenticeships that start prior to 1st August 2022 is ignored.

Good catch Martin. I'll advise them to ignore those fields on the basis that the apprenticeship as a whole started prior to August 2022.

jumping on this one.......

I have a learner who has changed employer and has EPA only to complete.

How do I enter this onto DAS - first one I've had to do - so any help would be appreciated please?

Thank you :)

Hi 

Just picking up on this.  If an apprentice started on or after 1st August 2022 and changes employer should we be recording the RPL information as detailed by Ben James?

Thanks
