Apprenticeships involve three key stakeholders: the apprentice, the employer, and the learning provider.
Each plays a specific role at different stages of the apprenticeship.
Employer
- Provides at least 30 hours per week of relevant work experience.
- Covers apprentice’s on-programme exam fees, as well as any potential resits of the end point assessment (EPA).
- Covers registration and subscription fees.
- Supports development of professional skills, behaviours and workplace training.
- Confirms apprentice is ready for the EPA by signing the Gateway Access Form.
Learning Provider
- Delivers tuition for exams.
- Monitors development.
- Books and pays for the EPA exam.
Apprentice
- Registers with ACCA and submits Transfer Form if necessary.
- Studies for and sits on-programme exams.
- Engages with learning provider and employer, ensuring they’re on track to complete the apprenticeship.
- Completes EPA components.
Once the apprenticeship is complete, ACCA shares the results with the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), who issues the official apprenticeship certificate.
