The Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) is designed to help employers access new apprenticeship standards, training providers and funding for apprenticeships through an online service account. If you pay the apprenticeship levy, you will be able to access you 'levy allowance' of £15,000 to offset against your contribution to apprenticeship training costs.

You can spend your allowance on training from a government approved training provider and can use it to train new AND existing employees.

The DAS puts employers in control and allows you to access funding for apprenticeship training. It also allows you to choose the type of apprenticeships you want to run, the number of apprenticeships you take on, and the training provider that suits your needs.

If you are an employer you can set up an account with DAS in order to view all the apprenticeship standards ready for delivery. You can look at training providers who can deliver apprenticeship training and access any available funding.
