English Apprenticeship: Our Vision“A levy will put employers at the heart of paying for and choosing apprenticeship
training, and place the funding of apprenticeships on a sustainable footing. Employers will choose between high quality education and training providers, or
be able to train their apprentices themselves.”
Apprenticeship LEVYFrom 6 April 2017, all UK employers who have an annual "pay bill" of more than £3 million (less than 2% of UK employers) will be required to pay 0.5% of their annual pay bill as an apprenticeship levy.
