Summary of presentation content This is the first presentation in a series of three; • This presentation concerns itself with the process, route and general requirements of the application to the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP) • Subsequent presentations are concerned with the specific questions within the RoATP application process • All presentations assume that your college has previously been on RoATP. If this is NOT the case please contact teresa.frith@aoc.co.uk if you require advice on your application
Accessing the Application process (1) • You will be invited to apply by ESFA and are not required to do anything until this contact has been made • The application is undertaken on line through the DfE/ESFA’s Bravo Solutions portal • The portal is open now and there is nothing to prevent you from accessing the application PQQ and pre-preparing your responses ahead of the ESFA invite

Some General Points • Read everything before you start to respond, especially the Application Guidance document. Most information can be accessed via https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-of-apprenticeship-training-providers • Make a note of all the documents that you need to attach (there are many) and go about sourcing them • Ensure your college has only one person who is in overall charge of your application • Keep an eye on the ‘messages’ tab as this is where ESFA will notify of changes to the application and should post answers to questions asked
Content of subsequent presentations • Introduction to the question areas within the RoATP application process • Key areas to cover in text answers (2000 character limit) • Key content requirements of required documents
