Funding Apprenticeships for Your Workforce
Apprenticeships allow employers to access substantial, government-backed funding.
In England, employers subject to the Apprenticeship Levy (with annual pay bills over £3 million) draw from their digital levy fund—with a 10% government top-up—for eligible training costs. Funds expire after 24 months if unused, so timely planning is essential.
Non-levy-paying employers benefit from co-investment funding, covering up to 95% of training costs, while they contribute only around 5%. This applies across age groups, sectors and programme levels.
All apprenticeship delivery must adhere to current funding rules (2025‑26), requiring a minimum of 12-month duration and compliance with off-the-job training hours, as defined in the standard and agreed in the training plan

Typical Time Commitments Across Apprenticeships
Apprentices are expected to spend at least 20% of their normal working hours on off-the-job training, this equates to an average of 6 hours per week for a full‑time 30-hour week over a 12-month period.
For part-time apprentices (under 30 hours), the total duration of the apprenticeship extends proportionally. For example, someone working 15 hours weekly on a 12-month standard may require up to 24 months to satisfy required hours and training volume.
Training can be delivered via flexible models, front-loaded blocks, remote modules, or monthly sessions, as long as active learning occurs at regular intervals (monthly or every three months, depending on the chosen delivery model).

No, there are no age limits for beginning an apprenticeship, many of our learners are over 40 and have valuable experience that helps them succeed in their job role.
Yes, you must employ the apprentice at a legal salary, and pay them whilst they are learning too.
The apprentices will be recruited to your organisation and therefore should be provided with all the normal equipment for that role, and go through your normal due diligence checks.
Yes, as there are integrated driving qualifications in the apprenticeship, the learner must be able to complete these courses.
No, to join an apprenticeship there must be an opportunity for the learner to have significant learning. Completing such a small part of the apprenticeship especially when they are already in the role would not be classed as significant.
Perhaps, an apprenticeship is suitable for staff who wish to upskill into a higher role. If you have staff who are working at Level 3 support workers, then we can enrol them onto our Level 4 program. However we can not accept staff who are already working at the apprenticeship clinical grade as new candidates as they will have significant experience and knowledge.
No, neither you nor the apprentices will incur any costs
To have staff complete the blue light driver training then we must prove that there is a legitimate need. For this the awarding body asks that organisations are CQC registered.
No, the apprenticeship funding is only available for companies based in England.
You may charge reasonable costs such as uniform or DBS checks, but these must be outlined in the initial apprenticeship contract. You may not charge for the cost of the apprenticeship that is drawn from the levy.
At the start of the application we will complete an assessment with the potential apprentice. Here we will discuss their needs and explore what adaption we can make to help them succeed on the apprenticeship. Many of our learner have additional needs and disabilities and are successful, however they must be capable of completing all aspects of the apprenticeship including the driving skills.
