Whats are the benefits of apprenticeships
Apprenticeships offer a mix of on-the-job training and classroom learning.
Work-based focus
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes which are designed to help employers train people for specific job roles.
The majority of learning will take place in the work environment. This is supported by knowledge and skills gained in the classroom.
A blended approach
A degree apprenticeship allows you to combine university education, work-based learning and professional development.
You will get a paid job and work towards a nationally recognised apprenticeship standard.
A qualified success
When you have completed the training you will be awarded a degree or masters qualification.
You will also be eligible to apply for registration to practise.
Apprenticeships for employers
Funding
There are three ways to access funding to pay for apprenticeship training. This funding does not cover salary costs.
Apprenticeship levy
Employers with a pay bill over £3 million each year, pay the apprenticeship levy.
Levy paying employers can spend their apprenticeship levy
funding on apprenticeship training.
Reserve funding
If you don’t pay the apprenticeship levy you can access reserve funding.
The government pays 95% of the training costs and the employer pays the remaining 5%.
Levy transfer
Levy paying employers can transfer some of their annual levy to other employers.
These transfers cover 100% of the training costs of the apprenticeship. Employers will have to fund the apprentice’s salary.
