New apprenticeship service employer agreement
From 20 August 2020, we asked employers to accept a new employer agreement to access apprenticeship funding for new apprentices and approve any account changes.
Applies to England
Employers accessing apprenticeship funds through the apprenticeship service or making changes to an existing apprentice account must accept the employer agreement with the Department for Education (DfE).
On 9 January 2020, we published a new employer agreement. The new agreement includes:
-
the terms and conditions for all employers using the apprenticeship service to access funds
-
changes to reflect the service바카라 사이트™s expansion to include employers that do not pay the apprenticeship levy
We바카라 사이트™re asking employers to accept the new agreement, so that all employers access the apprenticeship service under the same terms and conditions.

Organisations that accepted the agreement before 9 January 2020
If your organisation accepted the agreement before 9 January 2020 and will have new apprentices on or after 20 August 2020, you will need to accept the new employer agreement.
Your current agreement (accepted before 9 January 2020) covers your approved apprentices until they complete their apprenticeship, or until you accept the new agreement.
Without accepting the employer agreement, you will also be unable to:
-
approve any new apprenticeships funded by a transfer
-
approve apprenticeship vacancies
-
approve changes to your current apprentice records
-
apply for incentive payments for hiring a new apprentice
Organisations that accepted the agreement on or after 9 January 2020
If your organisation accepted the 9 January 2020 agreement, you can accept the updated agreement in your apprenticeship service account.
