Small employers that don’t pay the apprenticeship levy can now use the digital apprenticeship service. The Association of Employment and Learning Providers has a guide.
What is it?
The ‘apprenticeship service’ is a generic term used for an online system to access Government funding. This currently operates in two distinct ways, depending on if an employer pays the apprenticeship levy or not.
The service allows levy-paying employers to access specific ring-fenced allocations linked to the amount of levy they have paid. They can spend this on their own employees, or transfer it to other employers to use. If it is unspent after 24 months it gets returned to the Treasury.
