All apprenticeships in England must be managed through the apprenticeship service and you will need to create an apprenticeship service account in order to recruit and manage an apprentice.
How to create an account
To create an account, you will need:
- an email address
- permission to add your PAYE scheme number or your Accounts Office Reference Number (AORN) to the account
- permission to accept the employer agreement on behalf of your organisation
- You will also need either the Government Gateway login for your organisation, or your (AORN) and employer PAYE scheme reference number.
For guidance on how to create an apprenticeship service account, watch our helpful video.
