Only the candidates deemed most suitable for your organisation will be presented for your consideration. Funding MGTS offer expert advice on the funding rules applicable to your business. With a vast amount of experience of assisting companies from SMEs to blue chip organisations over many years, we have a funding contract to suit all. Levy You can get help from the government to pay for apprenticeship training and assessment. The amount you get depends on whether you pay the apprenticeship levy or not. You will pay the apprenticeship levy if you’re an employer with a PAYE bill more than £3 million each year. Non Levy As an employer who doesn’t pay the apprenticeship levy, you will need to pay the training provider directly for training your apprentices. You pay 5% towards the cost of training and assessing your apprentice. The government will pay the rest (95%) up to the funding band maximum.
