Setting Up Your Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) Account

Takes only 5 minutes

Gather Your Details

Make sure you have the necessary details ready before setting up your DAS account. You’ll need:

  • Authority to sign agreements – The person creating the account must be authorised to sign legal contracts on behalf of the organisation, as you’ll be asked to accept an Employer Agreement with the ESFA.

  • An active email address.

  • PAYE scheme details. You’ll need one of the following:

    • Your organisation’s Government Gateway User ID and password (organisation-level access only; individual or agent accounts won’t work).

    • Or your Employer PAYE Reference Number and Accounts Office Reference Number – You can get this information from your Business Tax Account.

Create Your Account

  1. Go to: Create DAS Account.
  2. Enter your details and confirm your email with the code sent to you.
  3. Add your PAYE scheme (using Government Gateway login or your Accounts Office and Employer PAYE Reference Number).
  4. Accept the Employer Agreement (your account won’t be fully active until this is done).
