Apprenticeships are funded based on employer Wage Bills. There are two types of employers and funding is based on the employer category you fall under:
A Levy employer with a pay bill of more than £3 million is required to pay the Apprenticeship Levy. Funds can be managed using the Apprenticeship service and spent towards training and assessing Apprentices. The government will apply a 10% top-up to the funds you have in your account.
Maximum funding from the government is capped at £16,000 for the Digital Accessibility Specialist Level 4 Apprenticeship.
What employer category do I fall under?For non-Levy paying employers, the government will fund 95% of the cost of training an apprentice, with a 5% contribution from the employer.
For an employer with fewer than 50 employees, the government will fund 100% of the cost for Apprentices aged 16-18, or Apprentices aged 19-24 with an education and healthcare need.
Maximum funding from the government is capped at £16,000 for the Digital Accessibility Specialist Level 4 Apprenticeship.
