Funding Accountancy Apprenticeships

Making professional development affordable is a big win for any business. With the Apprenticeship Levy and government funding, employers can give staff the training they need without stretching the budget.

How We Help

Navigating funding options can feel overwhelming, but that is where we come in. Our team provides end-to-end support, whether you are a levy-paying organisation or an SME. We guide you through the process, from understanding funding to enrolling employees onto the right programme.

What is the Apprenticeship Levy?

If your company’s annual payroll exceeds £3 million, you are already paying into the Apprenticeship Levy. These funds can be used to support accredited apprenticeship training for your workforce.

For Smaller Businesses

If you do not pay the levy, you can still access significant funding support. In many cases, the government covers 95% of the training cost, leaving the employer to pay just 5%.

How to Access Funding

Levy-Paying Employers:

  • Use your Apprenticeship Service account to access levy funds
  • If levy funds are exhausted, co-funding may still be available

Non-Levy Employers:

  • Contribute a small percentage of the training cost, with government funding covering the remainder
