Delivering apprenticeship training to receiving employers

P254

If you are a main provider who is also a levy-paying employer (this includes any connected companies), you must not deliver training to apprentices you are funding through a transfer. This includes where you are acting as a main provider or a subcontractor.

P255

You must ensure the receiving employer is aware of the requirement to follow the apprenticeship funding rules for employers for all of their apprenticeships funded by a transfer.

P256

You must agree the details of the apprenticeship with the receiving employer on the apprenticeship service.

P257

You must fully explain to the receiving employer the requirement to pay co-investment if the full cost of the apprenticeship cannot be met with a transfer or from their apprenticeship service account. You must arrange to collect co-investment as set out in the co-investment section.

P258

You are responsible for confirming that a receiving employer has arranged a transfer to fund their apprenticeship from the outset.

P259

Once the transfer of levy funds has been processed, the responsibility and liability of the transfer funded apprenticeship lies solely with the receiving employer. The sending employer has no accountability for that apprenticeship, apart from the commitment to fund the apprenticeship over its entire duration until completion.
