If your wage bill exceeds £3 million, your organisation will be paying into the Apprenticeship Levy scheme. The Levy is charged at 0.5% of your wage bill. This money is collected in your HMRC digital account until it is either spent on apprenticeship training for your organisation or expires after 24 months.

Suppose you don't pay the Levy, or you've already spent your allocation. In that case, you are eligible to receive at least 95% government funding for any apprenticeship training you enrol your staff on. This makes apprenticeships a highly affordable, cost-effective solution for workplace training for all UK employers.

Apprenticeship funding can be used to upskill, train and grow anyone within your company, whether this is someone right at the beginning of their career or an existing member of staff that could benefit from advanced sales training. When used wisely, this programme could transform the career of someone in your organisation and, in turn, increase revenue for your company.

Apprentices under the age of 25 are exempt from employer national insurance contributions.

75% of business leaders think the Apprenticeships Levy is positive for businesses to improve their quality of products and services, according to the Training Journal.

Courses are usually between 15 and 18 months in length, including the necessary assessments.

Apprenticeships are open to a wide range of learners, giving employers the power to choose their apprentices as long as basic criteria* is met: 

• Aged 16 or above
• The learner lives in the UK, is a UK national or is an EU citizen, has been living in the UK or EU continuously for the last 3 years and holds settled or pre-settled UK status
• They will spend at least 50% of their time working in England
• Not enrolled in any other form of education.

*This is not the fully eligibility criteria but a general guide to the most common criteria that causes ineligibility. 

The enrolment process is designed to achieve a number of areas, amongst them are the compliance and legislative requirements needed for funded training, but we do try to make it beneficial for all. Apprentices are  enrolled over 3 steps. 

• Educate - where we will discuss the best qualification for the learner. 

• Engage - where they receive more in-depth information specific to the qualification and the requirements. 

• Enrolment - where we ensure the learner is ready to start the apprenticeship training and to meet the dedicated skills coach for support along the journey.
