In the past, funding came directly from the government education body ESFA to Achieve Training/other colleges, but now employers need to reserve the funding themselves and request it be passed on to their training provider using the digital Apprentice Service.
Our step-by-step guide below talks you through the key things you need to do when using the Apprenticeship Service. Don't worry, we will send you a link for you to register for your account when using Achieve Training as your apprenticeship training provider.
Through your account you will be able to manage a range of services. This includes managing apprenticeship funding, advertising vacancies on Find an Apprenticeship, finding training providers that deliver your chosen apprenticeship programme and reserving funding for the provider to deliver the chosen apprenticeship.
