Applying to join the apprenticeship provider and assessment register (APAR)

The apprenticeship provider and assessment register (APAR) is a record of organisations that are eligible to receive government funding to train apprentices

Once your organisation is on the APAR, it will be eligible to receive government funding to train apprentices.

Being on the APAR does not mean your organisation is recommended by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), so it cannot use its branding.

By applying to join the APAR, your organisation is agreeing to:

  • provide a quality apprenticeship as described by Skills England

    • Join the APAR as an apprenticeship training provider

    You can join the APAR as a training provider if you can show you are either:

  • an employer that pays the levy and wants to train your own workforce or apprentices (an employer-provider)
  • a provider nominated by an employer that has shown evidence of a gap in the apprenticeship provision offer
  • a provider in an area we want to grow or where we identify a capacity issue (you’ll apply directly or request an invitation to apply to join, depending on your level of regulation)

    • Your organisation will not join the APAR until it has completed all post application tasks.

    Employers looking for training for apprentices

    If you are an employer, you can search for training for your apprentices using the find apprenticeship training service.

    If you cannot find a training provider that meets your needs, you can either:

  • nominate a provider to join the register (application route 1: gaps in provision)
  • apply to join yourself if you are a levy-paying employer (application route 2: join the register as an employer-provider)

    • This route is for employers to nominate a main or supporting provider. You can use this route if you have searched using the find apprenticeship training service and:

  • there is no training available for the skill you need
