The Skills Funding Agency (SFA) is replacing its ACTOR register of training providers with a new Register of Training Organisations. Any organisation interested in delivering SFA funded training, including European Social Fund provision, must be included on new register. To get on to the new Register organisations must pass the SFA’s Due Diligence Assurance Gateway, the deadline for making an application is 17 February. Organisations with current contracts or previously registered with ACTOR will have to apply be on the new register, they will not be automatically transferred over. Sub-contractors of SFA providers holding sub-contracts with an aggregate value of £0.5m or more will also have to register. Organisations without an existing funding agreement with the SFA but wanting to register as provider will have to submit financial statements by 10 February. For more information the SFA have produced a briefing on the Register of Training Organisations and a second briefing on what to do to register |
