Negotiated price

The price the employer and provider agree for an apprenticeship, recorded on the ILR as training (TNP1) and end-point assessment (TNP2).

In full

The negotiated price is what the employer and provider agree the training and assessment will cost. It is recorded on the ILR in two parts: TNP1 is the cost of training only, and TNP2 is the assessment price. The employer approves the details in the apprenticeship service. Any amount above the band maximum is agreed with the employer outside the ILR and the service.

Earnings are calculated from the price up to the band maximum, split between monthly on-programme instalments and a completion element paid when the apprentice completes.
