Since April 2017, if you have an annual PAYE bill of over £3 million you've been required to pay the apprenticeship levy. The biggest shake up in learning and development for decades, this presents an ideal opportunity to improve your talent development and business performance.   

We know that tapping into this new funding model can be a bit daunting. We’re here to help you get the best benefits and optimum return on investment from the apprenticeship levy. As your onside experts, we take a strategic view on using your levy contribution, helping you grow your learning and development function. We’ll assess your business and learner needs to work out where you can reinvest your levy contribution to close critical skill gaps, boost productivity and prepare for the future. We’ll also identify opportunities to convert existing learning activity into apprenticeships at an optimum cost.
