Apprenticeship Funding
SMEs (non-levy employers with a pay bill under £3 million) usually pay no more than 5% of Apprenticeship training and assessment costs, with the government funding 95% of the course cost. From April 2024, the government fully funds training for apprentices aged 16–21 (and some 22–24 with an EHC plan or care-leaver status). Employers hiring 16–18-year-olds (or eligible 19–24s) also receive a £1,000 incentive. Apprentices must work mainly in England, be on an approved standard, and use a registered training provider. SMEs only pay extra if training costs exceed the funding band.
Large employers with an annual pay bill over £3 million must pay the Apprenticeship Levy, which is 0.5% of their total pay bill, minus a £15,000 allowance. Funds go into a digital Apprenticeship account to pay for approved training and assessments. Unused funds expire after 24 months, but employers can transfer up to 50% of unused levy funds to other employers. If training costs exceed the government’s funding band for a standard, the employer covers the excess.
