How are apprenticeships funded?

Levy and non-levy employer funding is available. Levy-paying employers use their levy funds, and smaller employers receive government support towards training costs.

Not always. For apprentices aged 19 and over, English and maths are optional, and support is available for anyone who wants to work towards them. Find out more in our guide: Do apprentices need English and maths?
