Funding an apprenticeship

An apprenticeship can provide an incredibly cost-effective way to bring more skills and knowledge into your organisation.

Make the most of your levy

With an annual payroll over £3 million, you're a levy payer — use those funds to train and assess apprentices in your business.

Why use your levy?

  • Develop a skilled workforce tailored to your needs.
  • Maximise your levy contributions — don’t let them go to waste.
  • Use it or lose it — unused funds expire after 24 months.

Strategic planning is key to building long-term talent and getting full value from your investment.

Access Government funding

If your annual payroll is under £3 million, you're a non levy payer — get up to 95% government funding for apprenticeship training.

Why get involved?

  • Upskill your team with high-quality, role-specific training
  • Pay as little as 5% of the apprenticeship cost
  • Partner with Kaplan to build long-term talent

A cost-effective way to grow your team and boost performance, without breaking the budget.

Discover how your business can access funding to support apprenticeships and invest in future talent.
