You should also use the personal learner record to see if the ILR data is available there as a starting point. However, only when you actually start to claim the funding on the DAS will you truely know how much is left. Your role however is to make the best determination on the evidence you have been given and to charge accordingly. If you end up deciding they need the full funding, thats fine, you just will not get it as some has already been used. You would then expect the employer to pay the remaining themselves. The employer can check their account to know how much has been spent so far and provide you with that. Paul.

It’s utter drivel. Employers ask us to do the work for them. Now we ask them to create a reservation first. More bureaucracy for the employer just to keep their ‘reservation’ part of the system. How is this even going to be enforceable and how much stress will be added to staff who accidentally submit and ILR and it’s not in the das first. No discussion about this in the technical user group either.

I would follow the same protocols for any other electronic signature. It should be irrefutable and able to confirm that it was the individual that placed it there. A typed signature in a document, in my opinion, shows no confirmation that it was the individual who put it there. It could be anyone, but of course if your End Point Assessment Organisation has confirmed it is acceptable, then so be it! I would want to assurance myself that the document came from the originators email address as a minimum however to confirm it is genuine. The gateway form is not a funding requirement however, it is an EPAO requirement. The only signature requirement I can see is confirmation from the employer at the point of entering gateway that they will continue to employ the apprentice until the final date of EPA. Maybe others can add some more information, but that my take on it for you. Paul.

Apprenticeship Agreement is on one page, and updated when required: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeship-agreement-template Employer Training Agreement: Would be created by the training provider as a contract between provider and employer. Normally providers associated with AELP, AOC or UVAC would use the suggested templates and adapt to their own purposes.

Hi, My understanding is that you should being reporting on government funded provided as an training provider. Commercial activity is not part of this as you would need to agree a different privacy notice, data sharing protocol etc. However remember that it is the responsibility of the Awarding Body to also update the LRS system with accreditations. The only exception I understand is where you have an unfunded apprentice where it must be in the ILR for the certifcate to be released on achievement. Colleges - I understand - must report all provision, but ITP's I cannot see how this could be monitored or enforced. Paul

Where any employer fails to pay, the training provider must retain evidence of chasing and or the reasons for the payment not being received. When it comes to completion and the value remains outstanding you will not be entitled to the completion payment, and you should ask the ESFA if you are ok to put something into financial records to allow the payment to be released.

Hi Darren, I know you will have read the guidelines, but a statement of comparability is required from UK ENIC to be used to confirm. They potential applicant must pay for this themselves as it will be very useful to them in the future. Whilst we all can usually work out the answer, its only when it is confirmed by ENIC that it can be used for audit purposes. Paul

Hi, it looks like on the day of returning from the break in learning you have not entered the negotiated price and still have one record in the system dated 08/02/2021, and you need to add further TNP records for the return date of 07/12/2022. This gives you information on how to process a break in learning (return) https://guidance.submit-learner-data.service.gov.uk/21-22/psm/article/apprenticeship-recording-changes#article-Apprentice%20takes%20an%20agreed%20break%20in%20learning Paul.

Hi Dean, This is a payment that is given to an employer or a training provider, and the use of it is not monitored. The only requirement is that you must ensure that you have evidence that the payment has been passed onto the relevant employer within the timescales stipulated in the funding rules / contract document. Hope that helps, but don't go spending it all on Prosecco ! Paul.
