My view is that he is still in learning so there is no need to take a break from it. The OTJ can be "lumpy" and does not need to be continuous.

Is the EPA cost is proportioned as well or is it passed onto the new employer in full ? Thanks

As this occurs after the first of the month I would assume the old employer pays the May installment and the new employers picks up from June. In reality it does depend on when the old employer stopped payments.

Just to add to Chloe's answer, we have some employers who won't give us "permissions" to change the employer but create a cohort instead. This I believe does count towards their 10 limit. Also as cohort's cannot be backdated for non levy employers there is the problem of the old employer stopping in say March and the cohort being created in May so exceeding the 30 day rule

I've only skirted around the edges of this but apparently the employer can go into the apprentices entry on AS and change the training provider by way of the PRN

I don't think the owner of a company can be an apprentice unless there is a different legal status. e.g. a ltd company or a trust (charitable or otherwise) as then they are classed as an employee and do not have ultimate authority.

I believe you have to transfer to the new employer as this is where the cert will be sent. Also I think the new employer needs to create an AS entry for the 20% completion payment to allow this to flow through.

We (in apprenticeships) use Docusign which we also find great. It costs us £1 per envelope. Other parts of the college use Signable which I believe they got for about 30p per envelope.

In these circumstances we show the 20% completion payment as the cost to the new employer. On the ILTR anything above the cost of the EPA we then show as training. Unless you provide the "headroom" for the 20% I don't believe you will get it !
