Now we have V3 could I check that everyone's understanding is the same as mine... that this applies to ALL non levy employers, not just for SME (i.e. fewer than 50 employees)? para 145 Apprenticeship funding rules 2023 to 2024 (publishing.service.gov.uk)

We have used the change of employer function in TAS lots of times now & seems to work well. Just look up the learner under manage your apprentices and then you'll see the 'change an employer' link. The important thing to do first though, is ask the new employer to give you full permissions - i.e. you will want them to give you permissions to add apprentices, rather than just send you a link. The benefit of using this function is that the service automatically pings a message to the previous employer asking them to place a stop- and if they don't it will be auto stopped after two weeks & then everything will show as live. If the new employer does not want to give full permissions you can still do it using their link, but you will have to get the previous employer to stop the record first. It's fine if prev employer stops in July & new starts in July; it will not overlap - you will get funding from prev employer for June, and then funding from new for month of July.

Yes that's my understanding too Christina - think we must apply the rule that was in existence at the start of the apprenticeship, so if original start date was pre 01/04/24 new employer must pay 5%. May become a hard sell if/when an employer is taking on completely new starts at the same time..

Has anyone else seen/received further detail/confirmation of this as yet? We are assuming for SEM (under 50 employees) and for anyone up to age of 21, but want to see via ESFA or new version of funding rules before we apply it...

Many thanks for info above, however we are getting an ILR error when we add EPAO, but don't have corresponding TNP1 & 2... Do we need to take EPAO out (and if we do will they still be able to issue Cert upon achievement?) Also they will not be on TAS..is this an issue? Grateful for help..
