The Apprenticeship Levy is a UK government initiative where employers with a wage bill over £3 million contribute 0.5% of their payroll to fund apprenticeship training. Businesses can use these funds to upskill employees, reduce training costs, and improve workforce development. Unused funds can even be transferred to other businesses in your supply chain.

If you don’t use all your Apprenticeship Levy funds within 24 months, they will expire and be returned to the government for redistribution. However, businesses can transfer up to 25% of their unused levy funds to other companies, such as suppliers or partners, to support their apprenticeship programs.

Yes! Even if your business doesn't pay the Apprenticeship Levy, you can still benefit from government co-funding. Non-levy-paying employers only need to contribute 5% of the apprenticeship training cost, while the government covers the remaining 95%.

Levy-paying employers can access their funds through the Apprenticeship Service online portal. Here, you can manage your contributions, allocate funds to apprenticeship training providers, and monitor your balance. Our team can help guide you through the setup and usage of the portal.

Yes! Apprenticeship Levy funds can be used to train both new hires and existing employees. It’s a great way to upskill your current workforce with industry-relevant qualifications and apprenticeships, making your team more competitive.

An Advanced Learner Loan is a government loan designed to help individuals aged 19 and over fund Level 3 to Level 6 courses. It covers tuition fees and does not require repayment until you earn above £27,295 per year, making it an affordable option for continuing education.

Eligibility for an Advanced Learner Loan applies to individuals aged 19 or older who are enrolling in eligible Level 3 to Level 6 courses, including diplomas and certificates. You must also be a UK resident to qualify for the loan.

Commercially funded qualifications are courses that are paid for directly by individuals or employers, rather than through government funding. These qualifications offer a wide range of professional and vocational skills across various industries, helping learners advance their careers.
