For earnings, the total cost of training for an apprentice is split between:
- 80% of the total cost split into equal monthly instalments
- 20% of the total cost held back until completion
For payments, where there is no lag in ILR submission, payments follow these rules:
- Provider payment follows the month after earnings
- This is due to the fact that activity relating to earnings is captured for funding purposes on the fourth working day of the next calendar month
- The levy account is debited in the same month as payment is made (although at different times in the month)
- Spend against budget is represented against the month in which funding is earned
- Where a levy account is used for funding, payments are made against the SFA Levy budget
- Levy funds are used until they run out, and then co-funding is used
- The order in which learners are funded is derived from the priorities of the commitments
-
-
Given the apprenticeship funding band maximum for each learner is 17000
-
A DAS learner, levy available, learner finishes on time
-
Given levy balance > agreed price for all months
-
And the following commitments exist:
ULN | priority | start date | end date | agreed price | |
