Apprenticeship funding for SMEs

If your business has a pay bill of under £3million you will be required to contribute 5% of the total apprenticeship cost and the Government pays the remaining 95%. In certain circumstances, additional costs may apply based on vocational sector and type of qualification.

If you are a business with fewer than 50 employees and you’re employing an apprentice aged 16-18, the Government will fund 100% of the cost of apprenticeship training.

Total People will guide you through all of the funding and co-investment processes.

Reserve your funding

The Government is changing the way non-levy employers access apprenticeship funding. All employers must now register for an Apprenticeship Service account to manage all aspects of their apprenticeship funding.

This is our 10th year of offering apprenticeships and we have used Total People for each of those 10 years. The majority of our workforce have been through the apprenticeship scheme and three of the original apprentices are now in management roles within the company.

Total People have added real value to our business through our apprentice scheme. It’s very difficult to find the time to train staff within a busy, growing business. By retraining and recruiting through apprenticeships, it allows our existing team to focus on the daily challenges faced by the business whilst the apprentice receives structured onsite training and support.
