You can get help from the government:
- to pay for apprenticeship training and assessment
The amount you get depends on whether you pay the apprenticeship levy or not. You pay the levy if you're an employer with a pay bill over £3 million each year.
If you do not need to pay the levy
You pay 5% towards the cost of training and assessing your apprentice.
You need to:
- agree a payment schedule with the training provider
- pay them directly for the training
The government will pay the rest (95%) up to the funding band maximum. They'll pay it directly to the training provider.
Employers and training providers could be eligible for £1,000 each if they hire an eligible apprentice.
· aged 16 to 18 years old
· under 25 and has an education, health and care plan or has been in the care of their local authority
The £1000 payment will be paid to your training provider and you will receive it from them.
You must set up an apprenticeship service account.
