Hi, Apprentice changes employer during the apprenticeship If there is a change to the apprentice’s employer during their programme, then you must record a new Learner Employment Status record to reflect this. A new Apprenticeship contract type FAM record must be added if the new employer has a different apprenticeship contract type to the previous employer, for example if the apprentice has changed from an employer who is funded through a contract for services with the employer, to an employer who is funded through a contract for services with the ESFA that does not have an account on the apprenticeship service, then a new FAM record with ACT2 must be recorded. Levy paying employer to a non-levy paying employer There should be no changes made to the learning aims. You must record a new price record on the programme aim; this price must reflect the cost of the remaining amount of the programme to be delivered with the new employer. This residual cost must be recording using AFinCode = 3 for training and AFinCode = 4 for assessment, as applicable. If an apprentice is made redundant, you must record this in a new Learner Employment Status record with Employment status code 11 or 12, as applicable. While the apprentice is eligible to continue their programme (see the apprenticeship funding rules), an Apprenticeship contract FAM type of ACT1 or ACT2 corresponding to the most recent employment period must remain in place without an end date in order to receive payment. If a new employer is found for the apprentice, then a new apprenticeship contract FAM type and a new negotiated price record must be recorded for the start of the period of learning with the new employer. If an apprentice becomes unemployed and is not eligible to continue their programme, they must be withdrawn from the apprenticeship. hth

Hi Peter, As I normally export to SQL I turned this off to test only using the export to mdb but all work ok excepting that when I opened the mdb in my output directory it automatically had to repair the file In the FIS Sandbox, Export directory you should find the file ESFA.DC.ILR.DataStore.Database.mdb which should have been copied to your output directory. I also checked the log file but this showed only that the process had created the mdb in the above directory and then copied it my output directory. I could not replicate the error you have. HTH

Hi Peter, Are there any files and mdb in the Sandbox, could it be a problem with your connection string, and have you checked the test button on FIS setup? HTH

Hi Stewart, I do not see the logic in that, if the provider agreed a price with the employer and they are only continuing after redundancy the learner to completion why should the training cost be any different? I was following the ESFA guidance from the PSM. HTH

Hi, As many issues are related to Apprenticeship Service accounts it would be helpful if representation from ESFADigital were included.
