Working with employers new to the apprenticeship service

Since 1 April 2021, all new apprenticeships are managed and funded using the apprenticeship service, and all employers hiring apprentices need to have an apprenticeship service account.

This means you may be working with employers who are using the apprenticeship service for the first time.
