How do I access the funding?
You can access funding from your school’s apprenticeship levy. Schools will be able to access the funding through their apprenticeship service (AS) account.
If your school needs help setting up your AS account, just let us know and we’ll guide you through it.
The level of funding depends on each candidate’s learning needs, with a maximum allocation of £7,000 to cover the cost of the apprenticeship.
Level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager Apprenticeship
The levy is paid by large employers with a wage bill of over £3 million. These employers pay 0.5% of their total annual pay bill into the levy. Most state-maintained schools and multi-academy trusts pay into the levy and all schools can access the levy to fund apprenticeship training. Dependent upon the individual school, levy funding can be accessed through their trust, their local authority, or the ESFA via the co-investment scheme.
Best Practice Network provide support to candidates and their employers in order to access this funding.
