Management apprenticeships

The Apprenticeship Levy is paid by large employers in the UK, with an annual wage bill of over £3 million. Only 2% of UK employers pay the levy. Payments are set at a rate of 0.5% of their total annual wage bill.

Every employer who contributes to the levy has a digital account. From there, they can access their levy funds to spend on apprenticeship training for their employees.

While only the biggest businesses in the country pay the levy, the funding generated by it also funds apprenticeship training for other employers, such as SMEs.

Smaller employers – those with a total annual pay bill of less than £3 million – pay just 5% of the cost of their apprenticeship training and the government funds the rest.

This means that for most employers in the UK, apprenticeship training costs can be significantly reduced. For example, if an apprenticeship course costs £5K, as a SME, with an annual wage bill below £3 million, you would pay just 5%, or £250 towards the course fees.
