SUMMARY:Understanding Apprenticeship Financial Management
DESCRIPTION:Apprenticeship financial management is complex.\n\nDo you\, and your organisation\, know whether your provision is modelled effectively and profitable? Do you meet the compliance obligations for pricing and costs?\n\nGetting your apprenticeship pricing right is essential for DfE compliance but perhaps more importantly for operating a financially sound apprenticeship programme. This three part webinar series is designed for role holders working in finance or operations to understand the funding methodology in apprenticeships\, the compliance obligations and benefits of effective implementation.\n\nFor example:\n\n 	How do you measure whether a new apprenticeship standard is financially viable for you to deliver?\n 	Are you clear on what the apprenticeship actually costs you to deliver and where a profit margin can be made?\n 	Can you forecast revenue effectively and identify profitability?\n 	Are you clear on what are eligible and ineligible costs and that you aren’t overclaiming or underclaiming funding?\n 	Are you reporting your training price breakdown correctly to the employer?\n 	How do you recognise the apprentice’s prior learning and reflect this in your costings?\n 	Are you applying the correct training price for your own employees (which must be at cost price)?\n\n\n 	Session 1 – The funding model in England and funded components\n 	Session 2 – Apprenticeship costs and pricing\n 	Session 3 – Necessary infrastructure and variables\n\nIn the webinar series\, we’ll help you to understand:\n\n 	the apprenticeship funding model in England\n 	understand price components of training and assessment\n 	eligible and ineligible costs\, how to identify these at a budget level and implement an effective offer to an employer\n 	cost models and options\n 	the importance of effective contracts with employers\n 	the role of employer co-investment and models of collection to ensure compliance\n 	Additional funding components: additional payments and learning support\n 	the impact of prior learning on cost models\n 	Employer-provider variables\n\nYou will receive a CPD attendance certificate after the series\, as evidence of your personal development.\n\nBooking\n\nYou can either attend the live sessions or be sent the recording and materials if you prefer to review them in your own time.\n\nIf you’re a public sector body (e.g. Local Authority)\, and unable to book via card\, please email us.
