Details

The apprenticeship service allows employers to create a digital account and use it to pay for apprenticeship training using funds from their apprenticeship levy.

The apprenticeship service holds details of an employer’s apprentices.

These details can be added individually or through a bulk upload process. The specification document and sample file contain details of the bulk upload facility available to training providers.
