What is the Apprenticeship Levy?
All employers in the UK with an annual paybill of more than £3 million must pay 0.5% of their total paybill into the Apprenticeship Levy. This fund of money can then only be used to pay for Apprenticeships.
The Levy was created to benefit you. Make the most of your business’s money and invest in growing skills to push your workforce forward.

The apprenticeship levy has been a fantastic opportunity for us to grow our own digital talent and future proof ourselves against the well reported, nationwide, digital skills shortage. Our apprentices aren’t just college leavers we are also able to facilitate career changes through apprenticeship schemes helping us to diversify our talent pool and create an always learning culture.
If you're a business that has an annual payroll of below £3 million, you're not required to pay the levy. But don't worry - you'll still get financial support for our programmes:
Arch Apprenticeships deliver our apprenticeships and are rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
