An Apprenticeship is a training system which combines practical training, linked to a full-time employed job role. The duration must be at least 12 months in term and offers the opportunity to ‘earn while you learn’ and enable practitioners to gain a qualification within that regulated profession. In the UK this is funded via the Levy and governed by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).
To dispel any myths that they are only for school leavers, Apprenticeships in the England are available for 16-60-year olds. Not only are they for the support and development of a new generation, they are also available for upskilling existing employees. As long as there is a requirement to learn new Skills, Behaviour and Knowledge, the Apprenticeship route is an option.
With an apprenticeship, learners will gain the knowledge, the skills, and crucially, the industry experience necessary for a successful career.
Apprenticeships are an opportunity to acquire skills and professional experience, but they have a much wider impact. Learners gain confidence in their talents and approach to new situations outside their comfort zone, unlocking a desire to achieve aspirations.
As part of the government’s plan to increase the quantity and quality of Apprenticeships they have introduced a new tax – the Levy.
Commenced on 6th April 2017, the levy applies to all UK employers with a pay bill of £3 million a year in all sector. Approximately 1.3% of employers pay the levy.
Employers have an allowance of £15,000 to offset against their levy payment. This allowance is topped up by 10% by the government and held in a Digital Apprenticeship Service account for a maximum of 24 months. The levy payment is set at 0.5% of an employer’s pay bill, and is paid to HMRC through PAYE.
Since May 2017, Levy funds have been available through a new digital service. Levied employers have been able to buy training since May 2017; funds leave digital account on a monthly basis and will spread over the duration of the apprenticeship. 20% of the total cost will be paid on completion of the apprenticeship.
Non-levied employers can also use the apprenticeship levy to received funding support for Apprenticeships. Non-levy paying employers can share the cost of the Apprenticeship training and assessing with the government with co-investment. Employers will need to pay just 5% of the cost of the Apprenticeship and the government will pay the remaining 95% (up to the funding band maximum). The training must be delivered by an approved provider and the Apprenticeship must be an approved standard. Employers can access this support through the National Apprenticeship Service.
There is no natural pause, as soon as they finish one module a new one is issued and started. All Apprentices should be actively learning throughout their ‘practical period’ until they get to the EPA Gateway. At this point, they start their project.
