Updated Guidance

On 21 April. The Department for Business Innovation & Skills published further guidance on the new Levy system.

In April 2017 the way the government funds apprenticeships in England is changing. Some employers will be required to contribute to a new apprenticeship levy, and there will be changes to the funding for apprenticeship training for all employers.

The apprenticeship levy requires all employers operating in the UK, with a pay bill over £3 million each year, to make an investment in apprenticeships. You can benefit from this investment by training apprentices.

The guidance published provides information on how the apprenticeship levy will work, from when it is introduced on 6 April 2017.

It also explains the principles that apprenticeship funding and the levy will operate on from April 2017, whether you pay the levy or not.
