Glad it was of some use, Ruth! We don't contract with the SO - that's on the employer via the Apprenticeship Service. The idea of suggesting those two parties have a formal agreement re potential reimbursement is an interesting one and not something I'd considered. A flag in the system is useful, you'll also need confirmation of who the SO is and potentially a MFA declaration as levy transfer funds can fall under the subsidy rules. We haven't been the SO as we're not a levy payer ourselves however, in this scenario, I'd likely use an addendum to the existing contract.

Hi Eileen Moran, e-mails do go out from the ESFA however when I queried the frequency recently I was told that the functionality isn't working as expected. On that basis, some employers may be receiving reminders while others aren't or there could be none at all being sent. Apprentices receive an e-mail when they are set up on the Apprenticeship Service prompting them to create an account. You can see the status of this in your "Manage your apprentices" list where it will show as Overdue, N/A or Confirmed. Our approach with both apprentices and employers is to include a reminder re leaving feedback in our engagements with them - reviews, etc.

Sadly not the first time different advice has been given out depending on who you speak to, Carla.

For this particular method I had to go the old way and have the original record stopped and then a new record created, using the levy transfer, by the new employer.

Hi Carla, yes the new employer can do a levy transfer for their portion of the apprenticeship. Darren
