THE APPRENTICESHIP LEVY: A Guide for Employers & SME'sThe Pathway Group
With the apprenticeship levy being introduced in April 2017, it is somewhat concerning that many employers still do not understand the impact it is going to have on them, and their businesses.
We have put together a booklet outlining all the essential 'need-to-knows', to help employers and training providers prepare for the upcoming changes. As well as information about apprenticeships in general, an FAQ section (answering common questions), and a handy glossary.

For support with the Levy email: info@improveurself.co.uk
The Apprenticeship LEVY will come into effect from April 2017. Are you ready?
This is extra tax will apply to companies whom earn over a certain threshold. This extra tax will then be transferred into a new digital voucher system, which you can only use for training up current staff or taking on new apprentice/s.
If this voucher is not used within the 12-month period, then the company loses this additional tax payment which they have contributed.
I would like to find out how we can prepare you for the Apprenticeship Levy?
We do in fact provide a consultancy service for the Apprenticeship Levy and set up Apprenticeships for you and/or train up your existing staff.
We will ensure that your contribution does not go unused and happy to answer any questions you may have.
One of our main focuses for this coming year would be the following courses:
Management Level 3/4
Team Leading Level 2/3
Customer Services/ Business Admin Level 2/3
ICT Level 2/3
These courses above are great options to upskill staff, however it is also worth knowing that the government is introducing new ways to tailor courses to specifically suit an employer’s desired needs for their workforce. Allot is changing this year with the whole Apprenticeship process.
This is something which I would be happy to discuss with you and support you with once these changes take place.
Feel free to give me a call or drop me an email should you like to discuss this further, but don't leave it too late! April is only around the corner!

1. Preparing for the apprenticeship
levy: implementation
Una Bennett
Deputy Director, Funding Mechanism
October 2016
2. What I will cover
• The apprenticeship levy
• Use of levy funds
• Apprenticeship funding including changes
• Contracting arrangements
• Using the digital apprenticeship service
3. Starts on 6 April 2017, at a rate of
0.5% of pay bill, paid through PAYE

all sectors
£15,000 allowance is not a cash
payment
Only 2% of employers will pay
the levy
What is the apprenticeship levy and who pays it?
3
4. • 10% government top up to monthly funds entering an account
Accessing levy funds to spend on training
• Levy funds will be available through a new digital service on
gov.uk
• First funds appear in account in late May 2017
If 100% of pay bill is in England 100% of levy payment in digital
account
If 80% of pay bill is in England 80% of levy payment in digital
account
How funds in the account will be calculated
4
5. What about non levy payers? Co-Investment
There are two types of employers who will benefit from government support towards
the cost of their apprenticeships training:
1. Employers who haven’t paid the levy and want to purchase apprenticeship
training from a provider
2. A levy-paying employer who with insufficient funds in their digital account
to pay for the cost of training and assessment they want to purchase
• The government will pay 90% of the costs of training and assessment.
• The employer will be responsible for paying 10% of the costs.
Government 90%
Employer 10%
5
6. Purchasing training – both groups
Levied employers buying training from May 2017
• Can commit to apprenticeship starts from the beginning of May
• Funds will automatically leave the digital account on a monthly basis
• The cost will be spread over the lifetime of the apprenticeship
• We will hold back 20% of the total cost, to be paid on completion of the
apprenticeship.
Non-levied employers buying training from May 2017
• Continue to make payments direct to providers
• Move onto the digital system at a later date
New funding system comes into effect on 1 May 2017
Apprenticeships started before 1 May will be funded through to completion
according to the existing rules

7. Key changes since August
In August, we published our proposals for apprenticeship funding. Since then, we
have been listening to employers, training providers and other stakeholders to help us
develop our final position. The adjustments we have made will help ensure that the
reforms benefit more employers and apprentices.
Proposals in August Final funding policy
Expiry of digital funds after 18
months
Extended to 24 months – helping employers to
prepare for the new system and to adapt
training programmes
Support for 16-18 year old
apprentices - £1000 payment to
employers and training providers
Retaining the £1000 payments plus extra
government funding to provide a transitional
20% uplift for providers training 16-18 year
olds on a framework. Also applies to 19-24
year olds formerly in care or have a Education
and Health Care plan
Removal of disadvantage uplift Retain a simplified version of current system
for one year to support those from
disadvantaged areas whilst review best way to
support disadvantaged groups 7
8. Funding bands for frameworks
We will allocate each individual framework pathway to:
• the nearest funding band based on the current rate of funding the government
pays providers for training adult apprentices but with some extra support…
8
16-18 uplift
• Transitional support of 20% of funding band
maximum paid directly to training providers
• Also applies to 19-24 year olds formerly in care
or have Education and Health Care plan
STEM Support
Additional support in
areas of disadvantage
• For all STEM framework pathways we will increase
the current government-funded adult rate by 40% at
Level 2 and 80% at Level 3 and above, and then
allocate these frameworks to the nearest funding
band.
Training providers receive:
• An additional £600 for training an apprentice
from top 10% of deprived areas, £300 for next
10% range and £200 for the next 7% range
9. Funding bands for standards
Apprenticeship standards are employer-designed and offer employers and apprentices a
more robust and relevant training experience.
Recognised in the funding system by allocating higher funding bands to apprenticeship
standards, relative to equivalent frameworks, where appropriate.
9
Principles
•Lower cost standards should be allocated to the nearest funding band
•Those standards currently assigned to the widest and highest cost funding band will be allocated to a new
band within this range. Taking into account:
•Actual prices employers have negotiated with providers.
•Evidence from Trailblazer employers on the estimated costs eligible apprenticeship training
•The funding bands set for equivalent frameworks
•The level and nature of the training, and consistency across similar types of apprenticeship standard.
Existing apprenticeship standards have been allocated to new funding bands according to
the following principles:
10. Additional support
16-18 year olds
Government will pay £1,000 to employers,
and a further £1,000 to training providers if
they train a 16-18 year old apprentice
Disadvantaged young people
Government will pay £1,000 to employers,
and a further £1,000 to training providers if
they train 19-24 year olds leaving care or who
have a Local Authority Education and
Healthcare plan
Additional learning support
We will pay training providers up to £150 a
month to support these learners, plus
additional costs based on evidenced need
English and Maths training
To meet minimum standards of English and
maths we will pay training providers £471 for
each of these qualifications (Level 1 and 2)
Small Employers
Employers with fewer than 50 employees will
have 100% of the training and assessment costs
covered when training a 16-18 year old (or 19-24
year old formerly in care or has a Local Authority
Education, Health and Care plan
11. Funding rules
Cross-border funding
Applying a single test for funding through
the English system: based on whether the
apprentice’s main place of employment is
England.
‘Workplace’ is where the apprentice is
expected to spend the majority of their time
during their apprenticeship.
Prior qualifications
Now and in the future, you can
train any individual to undertake
an apprenticeship at a higher
level than a qualification they
already hold.
From May 2017, an individual
can be funded to undertake an
apprenticeship at the same or
lower level to acquire
substantive new skills
Transferring funding
During 2018 we will introduce means
for employers to transfer up to 10% of
the levy funds to another employer
with a digital account, or to an ATA.
New employer steering group to design
this system so that it meets their needs
12. Contracts
Once a provider has been selected by an employer to
deliver training to their apprentices, they need to
negotiate costs and ensure contracts are in place so
that the funding can flow.
The costs for any end point assessment will be
included in the total price for the apprenticeship
agreed with the employer. Providers will be required
to pass this agreed amount on to the assessment
organisation selected by the employer.
