Giving Buttercups permission to reserve funding

Once you've added Buttercups Training to your Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) account, you'll need to set the correct permissions so we can reserve funding and support your apprenticeship programme.

Step 1: Add Buttercups Training as your training provider

  1. Log in to your DAS account
     

  2. Select Apprenticeships from the homepage
     

  3. Go to Your training providers
     

  4. Click Add a training provider
     

  5. Enter our UKPRN: 10013570
     

  6. Select Yes, add Buttercups Training Ltd and continue
     

Step 2: Set permissions for Buttercups Trainingr

  1. Return to Your training providers
     

  2. Find Buttercups Training Ltd and select Set permissions
     

  3. For Create Cohort, select Yes. This allows us to add apprentice records and reserve funding on your behalf
     

  4. For Recruitment, select Yes if you'd like us to help advertise your vacancy through the National Apprenticeship Service. If you already have a candidate in place, either option is suitable
     

  5. Enter our UKPRN: 10013570
