I’ve got more than one Apprentice. Can I negotiate the price?
We are always open to negotiate on prices with employers in situations that include larger volumes of Apprentices, timing of assessments or where savings can be made due to the location of assessments and the amount of assessment team travel required. As a not-for-profit organisation, we have calculated our prices to cover our costs and not to make a profit.
When will I be invoiced?
LEIA will invoice for the assessments at Gateway. LEIA advises that a minimum of 3 months should be allowed for invoicing and scheduling of assessments, however we accept that sometimes this may not be possible.
LEIA require invoices to be paid in full prior to the assessments starting and any delay in this happening will impact on the delivery of the assessments
What are your payment terms?
Our payment terms are 30 days, or prior to assessment – whichever is sooner.
What happens if my Apprentice needs more than 1 re-sit?
Unless there is a cap on the amount of re-sits an Apprentice is able to take, specified on the assessment plan, then the decision of whether an Apprentice is able to re-sit more than once is up to the Employer. We would recommend that assessments are not attempted anymore than 3 times, however, we would discuss this with the Employer before a final decision was made.
Can I make reasonable adjustments for my Apprentice?
We welcome reasonable adjustment requests for Apprentices, however this must be done at Gateway and supporting evidence will need to be provided. We will review the request and all the evidence submitted and notify you of our decision well in advance of the assessments starting.
