If your business has an annual wage bill of £3 million or more, you must contribute 0.5% of that total to the apprenticeship levy. In return, you’ll receive a £15,000 Levy Allowance, with the government adding a 10% top-up to your digital account to spend on apprenticeship training. These funds remain available in your HMRC account for up to 24 months or until they’re used.

For businesses with smaller wage bills or those who have exhausted their levy allocation, at least 95% of government funding is still available for apprenticeship courses your employees undertake.

To calculate the levy fund for your business, you can use our Apprenticeship Levy Calculator. Please click here.

Apprentices under the age of 25 are exempt from employer national insurance contributions.

All our apprenticeship courses are government-approved, ensuring your apprentices receive a trusted and accredited programme. Each programme runs for a minimum of 12 months, followed by a 3-month end-point assessment process. 

Pareto’s Level 3 courses are equivalent to an A-Level qualification, while our Level 4 and 5 advanced apprenticeships match a foundation-level university degree.

The enrolment process is designed to address several key areas, including compliance and legislative requirements for funded training, while also ensuring it's beneficial for everyone involved. The process takes place in three steps:

1. Educate – We’ll discuss the best qualification for the learner.

2. Engage – The learner will receive more detailed information about the qualification and its specific requirements.

3. Enrolment – We’ll ensure the learner is ready to begin their apprenticeship training and meet their dedicated skills coach for ongoing support throughout the journey."

Our apprenticeships are open to a wide range of learners, giving employers the power to choose their apprentices as long as basic criteria are met. The main requirements are that the learner is an EU citizen and has been living in the EU continuously for the last 3 years. There are also some stipulations around subjects for university graduates.
