Funding Support

At GLP Training, we provide guidance on the different funding options available for apprenticeships. We can help you understand eligibility, explore the funding routes available and identify the most suitable option for your business and apprenticeship programme.

The Apprenticeship Levy

Introduced in 2018, the Apprenticeship Levy funds apprenticeships either fully or partially, depending on specific criteria. The Apprenticeship Levy is paid by employers with an annual bill of more than £3 million and can be used to fund eligible apprenticeship training and assessment. To learn more about how the Levy works, and other employer funding opportunities, click here.

You can choose to fully or partially fund apprenticeship training to invest in your workforce and develop employee skills. Employers that do not pay the Apprenticeship Levy may be able to access government funding towards eligible apprenticeship training costs, with the employer contributing towards the remaining cost where applicable. GLP Training can advise you on eligibility and the funding available for your chosen programme.

If your business is in the construction industry, you/your candidate may be eligible for grants from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) to help cover training costs. These grants are designed to support construction employers with the cost of developing skills and qualifications within their workforce.

For certain qualifications and higher-level apprenticeships, government-backed student loans may be available to assist candidates with tuition fees. Eligibility depends on factors including the qualification, course and individual circumstances.

Eligible businesses hiring apprentices aged 16-25 can benefit from additional government support.

Non-levy-paying employers can receive a £2,000 hiring incentive for taking on a new apprentice, while eligible apprenticeship training and assessment costs for young apprentices can be fully funded by the government.
