For the apprenticeship degrees, you can use the Apprenticeship Levy towards course fees if your employees are based in the UK.
– Companies with an annual salary bill of less than £3m will pay 5% of the total course fees, paid in monthly instalments.
– Companies with an annual salary bill of more than £3m will contribute 0.5% over the £3m into the Apprenticeship Levy. You’ll then be able to use funds in your digital account to fund apprenticeships for existing staff or new apprentices. The government provides £1.10 for every £1 you pay in.
