Non Levy Funded

If you do not need to pay the levy

• You pay 5% towards the cost of training and assessing your apprentice. You need to:
• agree a payment schedule with the training provider
• pay them directly for the training
• The government will pay the rest (95%) up to the funding band maximum. They’ll pay it directly to the training provider.

You can also claim up to £2,000 as an incentive payment if you hire an apprentice that starts with you between 1 August 2020 and 31 January 2021. You’ll have until 30 April 2021 to make the claim.

 You can apply for the payment from 1 September 2020, after you add new apprentices to your apprenticeship service account.

The payment is in addition to the existing £1,000 you’ll already get for taking on an apprentice who is:

• aged 16 to 18 years old
• under 25 and has an education, health and care plan or has been in the care of their local authority
• What you’ll get

Employers will receive:

• £2,000 for apprentices aged 16 to 24
• £1,500 for apprentices aged 25 and over

You’ll get the payment in 2 equal installments:

50% after the apprentice completes 90 days of their apprenticeship and the remaining 50% after 365 days. To get the full payment, the apprenticeship must last for at least one year.
