And once you have received the payment you will be asked to confirm the payment. Your college or training provider will help you to apply, it is really easy to apply and having this bursary will be a big help when starting your career.

Employer update

Posted on by Ed Watson

The Education and Skills Funding agency have been improving the way Apprenticeships are managed putting employers at the heart of the system allowing for greater control and oversight.

Important. From March 2022 changes are in place to enable employers to use the recruitment tools. Before you can advertise your post and employ an apprentice you must create an account Employers/create-apprenticeship-service-account (The old system is being  turned off – you must take action)

Once you have created your account – you can add a training provider to give them permission to add apprentice records, reserve funding, recruit apprentices and create job adverts on your behalf.To add Achievement Training you will be asked for our UKPRN – 10000099

If you need any assistance, please give me a call and I will talk you through the steps.

Kind regards
