Apprenticeship Service Account

Information for Current Apprentice Employers

Every UK employer must have an Apprenticeship Service Account to access apprenticeship funding and manage training. The service also provides tools for employers to post apprenticeship vacancies and attract candidates. Whether you’re a levy-paying employer or a smaller business seeking government support, registration is mandatory to access apprenticeship funding.

Why is an Apprenticeship Service Account Required?

  • Compliance with government funding rules – Employers cannot access apprenticeship levy funds or government support without an account.

  • Legally required for managing apprenticeships – The account is the only way to process payments and agreements.

  • Access to recruitment tools – Employers can use the service to advertise vacancies and connect with apprentices.

  • Required for levy and non-levy employers – Whether you contribute to the levy or seek government funding, registration is mandatory.

  • Employer feedback – The platform allows businesses to provide feedback on apprenticeship training, helping to improve quality.

Who Needs to Register?

  • Levy-paying employers – The account automates payments to training providers using levy funds.

  • Non-levy employers – Registration is required to reserve government co-investment (95%) from the apprenticeship budget.
