Recruit an Apprentice Integration in PICSWeb

The Apprenticeship Service currently offers two different web apps for the RAA service, the older of which is in the process of being decommissioned. We no longer import reports from the old web service. You will instead need to use the single report from the new web service.

A free Integrations in PICSWeb course is available from our Course Library, featuring a video on RAA integration.

PICSWeb can integrate with the ESFA Recruit an Apprentice (RAA) service to synchronise Applicant, Vacancy and Vacancy Application data. If the RAA interface has been enabled in this page, you can Upload Vacancies to the RAA. Once these vacancies have been applied for in the RAA, you can Import the Candidates with Applications Report to create new application records in PICSWeb.

Selecting Configuration > Integrations > Recruit an Apprentice from the side menu will open the Recruit an Apprentice Summary.
