Apprenticeship Levy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will take steps to update the apprenticeship levy funding band.
Answered by Andrew Western
Each apprenticeship standard is allocated to one of 30 funding bands, which range from £1,500 to £27,000. These represent the maximum value that government will contribute towards the training and assessment for each apprenticeship.
All apprenticeship standards are reviewed periodically for both content and funding. Employers can also request an exceptional review where they are able to evidence significant cost changes. Skills England continues to work closely with employers throughout the revision process to ensure current delivery costs are reflected, whilst also delivering value for money.
