The Apprenticeship Levy Explained:
Since 2017, organisations with a wage bill over £3 million have been required to contribute to the Apprenticeship Levy—a monthly payment to the government of 0.5% on any amount exceeding the £3 million threshold. For example, if an organisation’s wage bill is £4 million, the levy applies only to the £1 million over £3 million.
Collected through the organisation's PAYE system, the levy must then be used to fund apprenticeships, either by recruiting new apprentices or developing existing employees.
Using your levy is optional, but paying it is non-negotiable. We can assure your investment goes to the right place: upskilling your workforce, improving your company's productivity, and reducing your team's skill gaps.

Other Funding Options: Non-Levy Payers
Organisations with a wage bill of less than the £3 million are eligible for government funding to cover the cost of the apprenticeship. This supports your business's growth by providing high-quality training for your team.
For apprentices aged 21 (24 in April 2026) and under:
- The cost of apprenticeship training is fully funded by the government.
For non-levy payers where the apprentice is aged 22 (25 in April) or over:
- The cost of apprenticeship training is 95% funded by the government, with the employer contributing the remaining 5%.

Are All Apprentices Eligible for the Levy Funding?
Learners may sometimes be ineligible for apprenticeship funding, which can be challenging for international organisations seeking consistent training across their teams. To address this, private funding is available as an option for our programmes.
As part of an apprenticeship, learners need to have a Level 2 in maths and English, which is similar to getting a GCSE grade C or Level 4. If they haven't already achieved this before starting, we can access government funding to help them complete these courses during their apprenticeship.
Alternatively, functional skills can be delivered as a standalone private course.

Can the Levy Be Used for Anything Else Other than Training?
Levy-paying organisations can also transfer up to 50% of their levy funds to other organisations, such as charities for corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives or businesses within their supply chain.

Additional Financial Incentives
Pay No NI Contributions & £1000 Incentive
Hiring a young apprentice brings valuable advantages. Organisations are exempt from paying Employer National Insurance contributions for apprentices under 25, and, with the government’s £1,000 financial incentive for taking on an apprentice aged 16 to 18, it’s never been a better time to invest in fresh talent.
