Thank you that makes sense.  It is obviously just worded incorrectly.

So she can still take her EPA even though she may be signed off work for more than a month.

OK so it looks as though there is no way round it.  My final question is, once she has completed her PGCE can she restart her apprenticeship and take her EPA if she still wants to do this, or is there a time limit.

Hi Martin I understand the employment side of things I was looking for confirmation as to whether she was allowed to start the PGCE if it was funded through a loan at the same time as waiting for EPA.  If not then there is no point in trying to resolve the employment issue. She is desperate to complete her EPA and would be willing to find alternative employment to do so.  I don't think she realised when she left that this would affect her EPA.

This seems rather harsh on the apprentice who has met all the other requirements of the apprenticeship.  The PGCE is funded through a Student Loan so would this make any difference to her situation?.

If we use EEF code 4 will that not claim another £1,000 for the apprentice as well?  Or will the system know the apprentice has already received the £1,000 and only pay the employer and provider.

Hi Martin We are not wanting to claim the care leaver bursary, just the additional payments for the provider and the employer.

We have the same issue with one of our schools.  Has there been any developments to solve the problem as the link above no longer works.
