Do you, and your teams, know why you charge what you do for apprenticeship training? Do you understand the difference between eligible and ineligible costs? Do you know what to record in a training price breakdown and what variations need to be applied in the case of subcontracted delivery?
Getting your apprenticeship costings right is essential for ESFA compliance and for operating a financially sound apprenticeship programme. Ensuring employers are aware of the transparent price of programmes is a common area of error and with increased rules in 21-22 regarding subcontracting costs it is easy to make mistakes.
This three part series will look at pricing in apprenticeships from a compliance and quality perspective as well as offering a bespoke support package to organisations afterwards to help continue their compliance journey.
You can either purchase the full package at a reduced rate, or book the webinar series or bespoke review separately.
3-part webinar series
In the webinar series, we’ll help you to:
- Be clear on eligible and ineligible costs of training and their relationship with training price
- Understand the relationship between price and recognition of prior learning
- Establish a clear rational for your costs – in particular, the training price and assessment price
- Explore different costing models and options
- Understand the additional rules for breaking down price when working with subcontractors
- Eligible costs for end point assessment
The live webinars will take place on Friday 18 Feb (11-12.30pm), Thursday 24 February (10.30-12pm) and Friday 25 February (10.30-11am)
If there are any dates/times where you aren’t available, register anyway and we’ll send you the recording and slides.
Bespoke review
Led by our compliance and funding specialist, David Lockhart-Hawkins, we will:
- Review your costing model in advance
- Conduct a 1.5-hr online review session with you and relevant staff to work through your model. During the session we’ll explore your actual costs of delivery, identifying profit margins and any variations that may apply (e.g. subcontracting, integrated degree, employer-provider apprentices)
- Provide written feedback and recommendations on areas that need considering or improving – from both a compliance and financial management perspective
- Conduct a final shorter review of your revised costing model
