apprenticeship standards and a
catalogue of providers’ course offerings helping
employers search and select the right
Provider andstandard. The SFA provides a ‘recruit an apprenticeship’
service for employers.
The employer and provider agrees a
price and the employer records the details in the
digital apprenticeship
service initiating the ‘double-lock’ which will be confirmed by the provider via ILR
returns.
The SFA issues an agreement to the selected provider, with a schedule to cover the value of the deal, or update
the existing agreement if this is not the first deal.

delivering the apprenticeship.
