Hi All, I think I know the answer to this, but here goes. If a learner is with a new employer, the new employer doesn't want to be signed up. we have withdrawn the apprentice. Can the apprentice self fund the STANDARD/EPA? TIA

Hi Susan, This is what the guidance says but sounds very complicated to me, not tried it yet. Good luck. Having identified the number of hours that will not be delivered to the apprentice, the provider must apply a reduction in cost to reflect the hours that have been removed from the training plan. To reflect the training delivery costs of the hours, you must reduce the price by a minimum of 50% of the prior learning percentage. For example, if apprentice ‘A’ has prior learning and or experience equating to 300 off-the-job training hours, and a typical apprentice with no prior learning and or experience requires 1000 off-the-job training hours, apprentice ‘A’s’ prior learning and or experience should be calculated as 300/1000 = 30%. Applying a minimum reduction of 50% to this example means that the starting point for price negotiation should be at least 15% lower than the maximum of the funding band. So, if apprentice ‘A’ is on a standard with a maximum funding band of £10,000 – then the price adjusted for their prior learning and or experience must be at least £8,500 (-15%.).
