This document sets out how we will fund activity for ESFA funded AEB and continuing 16 to 18 traineeships. In this version, we have described:  

• how we fund learning through the new AEB procurement that has taken place 
• how we are integrating traineeship provision into the AEB for new learning starting from 1 August 2023
• a change to the procured and non-procured version of the “National Skills Fund” funding line types to “NSF Free Courses for Jobs” funding line types 

This guide covers delivery starting in the 2023 to 2024 funding year. We may publish further updates through the course of the year and we will tell you about any changes in ESFA Update.
