How to register and use the apprenticeship service as an employer

All apprenticeships are arranged through the apprenticeship service. To use the apprenticeship service employers, need to set up an account.

How to get a PAYE scheme reference number

If you are a small employer who does not pay the apprenticeship levy, you will need your PAYE scheme reference number (also known as ERN number) and your account office reference number (AORN).

If your business has no employees, then you may not have a PAYE scheme reference number. You will need to register with HMRC to receive your PAYE reference number.

Setting up your PAYE scheme reference number

If you have recently received a PAYE scheme reference number, you need to complete some steps before setting up your apprenticeship service account:

submit at least one payroll return to HMRC using their basic PAYE tool (this can be a blank employer payment summary if you are not yet employing someone)

notify HMRC that you will be taking on an apprentice under your business’s PAYE and submit the data.

Recruit an Apprentice

This service is for registered training providers (including large employers with direct grant funding) to post vacancies and manage applications for apprenticeships. FIT UK will support our employers to advertise their apprenticeship vacancies and help support recruitment.
