If you have an annual pay bill of over £3 million per annum, you will be a levy payer, which is used to fund Apprentice training. Smaller non-levy paying companies will pay 5% of costs, with the Government contributing the other 95%.

The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) sets the guidance on Apprenticeship delivery and we can run thorough checks to ensure compliance with the necessary criteria. Your Apprentice will need to hold a Maths and English GCSE Grade C/4 and above (or equivalent), be a full-time employee, be a UK national or hold a visa with the adequate working and learning permit for at least the length of their Apprenticeship.

Why apprenticeships work

“It has been amazing to witness the tremendous impact that this course and partnership has had on the students, their career journeys and the wider community. From the first Cohort of CMDA students who went through the End Point Assessment, 7 out of 9 students have successfully gained at least one promotion whilst studying on the course and applying their learning at interviews, some have had multiple promotions. The jobs they have progressed to include Senior Manager roles within the NHS. Many have led and implemented huge significant projects that have been pivotal to continued health care delivery for patients, using innovative means and skills learned during the CMDA displaying all the attributes of exceptional Chartered Managers.”
