Dear Alice

We write in response to your request for information.

We have responded below your requests:

01.Can you please provide me with a list of the employers who have hired
through IT Apprenticeship and IT traineeship schemes (Level 2, Level 3 and
Level 4) between January 2014 and March 2016?

The SFA hold information relating to the ‘workplace’ of employers.
Therefore we have processed your request based on the information held.

We attach a spreadsheet containing a list of the Level 2, 3 and 4 IT
Apprenticeship Workplaces.

Please note the following points in relation to the spreadsheet:

The data covers August 2013 to January 2016. Information is based on the
delivery location of the Apprenticeship. Some workplaces deliver
Apprenticeships in more than one location.

IT Apprenticeship Workplaces are based on apprenticeships that fall within
the 'Information, Communication and Technology' Sector Subject Area.

IT Traineeship data is not held, as a Traineeship is not categorised in
relation to a particular discipline such as IT.

02.Please include the last known contact details for these companies? I.e.
full name, address and email details?

The spreadsheet does not include address and e-mail details. Company
details are available in the public domain. To assist where held we have
provided the Companies House ID, you will be able to use this to search
Companies House for contact information.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you can
complain under the Agency’s complaint procedure, details of which are
published here:

If you complain and remain dissatisfied, you can complain to the
Information Commissioner.  Details of the Commissioner’s complaint
procedure are published on his website here:
