Yup getting employers to open and approve cohorts is almost a full time job. It's really tricky knowing when they've approved as well. If there was a recent approvals tab that would be useful as, if they expire they just go back into the cohort list.

Thanks Ben James stepping away from it yesterday and coming back it all makes sense now. I think I was going to two decimal places but the dashboard goes to one, so now everything is balancing and in agreement. It was the difference between the total programme aims and the total apprentices that had confused me further!

The site will work for us to login, but will time out once we try to upload. Sometimes it will just hang on logging in.

With us it crashed when the total cost column was formatted as currency, when I changed that column format to numbers with no commas or decimal places in it, it worked. Was great being able to upload all the cohorts at once as opposed to one at a time.

We're looking into this at the moment, I understand that in March this was scaled back due to Covid. https://esfahelp.education.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360016887559-Cyber-security-essentials https://infrastructure.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2020/06/02/cyber-essentials-requirement-for-esfa-funding-the-story-so-far/ I'm sending in a request to clarify as there wasn't an announcement in the ESFA updates.

I've realised that this query is actually going to start meaning we're going to discuss tax with employers in a way we haven't before. We're currently dealing with an issue over what is an interconnected company. I'm feeling a bit out of my depth, how far do other people take discussion of the levy and interconnected companies?

Correct, they must be getting to the NI number throught the ILR data via the datamatch process.

Thanks for this Ruth Canham-James I've asked the question back to Apprenticeship Service as the DFE service desk agreed that they couldn't support me with that issue. So ping ponging between the two! It just feels wrong that it takes six months to confirm this check. I thought they were saying it would take a month.
