The Apprenticeship Levy
The Apprenticeship Levy applies to all UK employers in both the private and public sectors who pay annual pay bills of more than £3 million.
Follow this Government article on The Apprenticeship Levy to view who the levy affects, how much you will pay and what happens once the money has been paid.
“We have worked with the college for a number of years and they have always offered us outstanding provision in support of our training needs. The Apprenticeship programme has allowed us to recruit new staff (and train them to the standard that we require) and also offer opportunities for our existing staff to continue their training and professional development with us. Learners receive regular visits from their assessor, expert guidance, feedback and support to achieve – and we are involved throughout.” – Your Choice Social Centre
