NON-LEVY PAYING EMPLOYERS

​

​

Support with apprenticeship costs

 

Non-levy paying employers will share the cost of training and assessing their apprentices with government - this is called ‘co-investment’.

From May 2017, you will pay 10% towards to the cost of apprenticeship training and government will pay the rest (90%), up to the funding band maximum.

​

​

Manage your apprenticeship training and assessment

 

If you do not pay the levy, you won’t be able to use the apprenticeship service to pay for apprenticeship training and assessment until at least 2018.

​

Instead, you’ll need to agree a payment schedule with the provider and pay them directly for the training. The provider must prove that you have paid your contributions as a condition of government paying its contribution.

 

There are 2 different types of apprenticeships to choose from:

​

• apprenticeship standards - each standard covers a specific occupation and sets out the core skills, knowledge and behaviours an apprentice will need; they are developed by employer groups known as ‘trailblazers’

• apprenticeship frameworks - a series of work-related vocational and professional qualifications, with workplace- and classroom-based training

• ​

To choose training:

​

• use the ‘Find apprenticeship training’ service to select an approved apprenticeship training provider

• if you are using a standard, use the register of apprenticeship assessment organisations to select an approved assessment organisation.

 

If you’re a public sector body, you will need to follow Public Contracts Regulation 2015 when selecting a training provider.
