Transfers myth busting

  • A transfer can only be used to pay for another employer’s

apprenticeships.

  • It will be an exact and agreed amount
  • You cannot transfer 10% as a lump sum or a gift
  • You can make a transfer to any other employer
  • Initially employers can only make a transfer to one other

employer
