Funding
Levy paying Employers
If you’re an employer with a pay bill over £3 million each year, you will pay the apprenticeship levy.
This money can only be used to pay for Apprenticeship training. DWA will claim this money from your On-line Digital Account (DAS).
Non-Levy paying Employers
Non-levy paying employers will share the cost of training and assessing their apprentices with government – this is called ‘co-investment’.
The co-investment rate has changed for new apprenticeships starting on or after 1 April 2019. You will now pay 5% towards the cost of apprenticeship training. The government will pay the rest (95%).
You will have to set up a digital account for DWA to access the 95% funding. (DWA will help you do this).
