HI. I am hoping somebody "in the know" may be able to help me answer the above question. I've had varying responses to date and am hoping someone may know something more definitive. WE are keen to apply to get on the register ASAP.
Kind regards in advance of any responses ! Liz

thanks
Alex
Hi Liz, Spoke to the ESFA and they said '
No specific date has been published regarding the next opening of the register, however what we have stated is that it will be closed during procurement. I suspect it will open within a few weeks after procurement?' The new procurement will cover apprenticeship starts in non-levy paying employers from January 2018 to March 2019, you need to be already on the register to procure. The ESFA will not be going back out to market following conclusion of this procurement process. After March 19, From April 2019 the government aims to bring all employers onto the digital apprenticeship service system.
