Funding for employers

If your company is paying the apprenticeship levy, you can use these funds to cover degree apprenticeships. 

Non-levy paying organisations are eligible for Government support for 95% of the training costs of an apprenticeship. In order to access this funding you must first create an Apprenticeship Service Account for you organisation. Apprenticeship Services Accounts can be created on the Apprenticeship Management pages of the government website.

Once the account has been created this can be used to reserve non-levy funding for apprenticeships. Funds can be reserved up to 6 months in advance of the apprenticeship starting, to reserve the funding you will need the following details:

  1. The name of the apprenticeship standard
  2. The start date of the apprenticeship
  3. The cost of the apprenticeship training from your training provider

We appreciate there is lots of information to take in on degree apprenticeship funding. If you are unsure about any of the details and would like to know more about funding options for your organisation please email degreeapprenticeships@ljmu.ac.uk.  The Degree Apprenticeships team at LJMU will be able to advise or point you in the right direction.
