Apprenticeship Levy

The apprenticeship service has a group of online tools created to support employers when developing and managing their apprenticeship programme.

  • Estimate my apprenticeship funding allows employers to get an indication of how much apprenticeship funding they will receive and estimate how much their chosen apprenticeships will cost over time.
  • Through Find apprenticeship training employers can use this service to search for apprenticeship training and find training providers who offer the apprenticeship training they choose.
  • Manage apprenticeships allows levy-paying employers to register securely to set up an employer account. From here they can add the PAYE schemes that are associated with their apprenticeship funds and invite other team members to view the account. They can also sign their employer agreement, add apprenticeships to their account and authorise payments to their training provider.
  • Recruit an apprentice allows employers to work with their training provider to post their apprenticeship vacancy online and find the right candidates for the role.
