Your apprenticeship training should cost you zero! 

Small businesses are asked to contribute 5% of the apprenticeship cost. This is called co-investment. (Levy paying businesses that have spent all their levy and also apply).

But why?

There is money to share/transfer = your business pays zero! 

SEATS and Backing Essex Business have partnered with the Essex Apprenticeship Levy Transfer Scheme to try and make sure that at least a £1 million does not go back to the government!* This money will be used to pay for your apprenticeship training.

All you need to do is fill in the form with a few simple details and we will put you in touch with the relevant people. It is a very simple process and you get free help to do this. 

For more information about the levy or even to calculate whether your business pays levy, please visit our dedicated page.

*Apprenticeship levy is collected from employers with a wage bill of £3million+ and unspent levy funds are returned to the treasury each year and this is estimated to be in the millions!
