Apprenticeships & Funding

We have been delivering engineering apprenticeships for over 25 years and have a vast amount of experience in working closely with our business partners to ensure that their investment in money, time and effort delivers a successful apprenticeship.

New Employees
Apprenticeships are great for bringing new talent into your business and securing your workforce of the future. Read our blog about the benefits of taking on an apprentice >

Existing Employees
An apprenticeship can be started at any age and be completed by someone who is already in post. They are ideal for up-skilling staff within their current role, offering them CPD or to equip them if you are looking to move them into a more senior role. 

FUNDING
Employers fall into one of two groups.
1. Levy payers. Those of you who have a payroll of more than £3 million per year. We can help you to utilise your Apprenticeship Levy by delivering a high quality scheme within your business, advice on what the levy can be used for and advice if you have exhausted your levy pot.

2. Non-levy payers. Those of you with a payroll under £3 million per year. The Government will pay 95% of the training cost with you contributing the other 5% - this is called co-investment.

What does the funding cover?
In both cases, funding covers the training of the apprentice and cannot be used for wages, statutory licences to practice, travel and subsidiary costs, work placement programmes or any fees required when setting up your apprenticeship scheme.
