Professional development is vital for improving teaching practice, strengthening staff confidence, and driving better student outcomes. Whether you’re developing classroom teachers, support staff, or IT and operations teams, ongoing CPD keeps your workforce adaptable and future-ready.

Apprenticeship Levy

The Apprenticeship Levy enables Schools, Trusts, and education providers to fund apprenticeships for teachers and educational staff with minimal cost, but maximum impact.

Employers with an annual wage bill over £3 million contribute to the Levy, which can be used to cover 100% of apprenticeship training and assessment costs. This funding supports staff development and upskilling programmes that help build a more skilled and confident workforce.

As Apprenticeship Levy specialists, we provide expert guidance to help Schools and Trusts make the most of their available funds. From identifying eligible programmes to supporting you claim your funds, we simplify the Levy process for you.

Co-Investment Model

For Schools, Trusts, and education providers that do not pay into the Apprenticeship Levy, the Co-Investment Model offers an accessible and affordable way to fund apprenticeship training.

Under this approach, the government funds 95% of the apprenticeship training and assessment costs, leaving the employer to contribute the remaining 5%. In some cases, this contribution is fully funded, for example, when apprentices are between 16 – 21, or up to 24 if they have been in care or have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan.

Co-Investment allows smaller organisations to access the same high-quality training opportunities as larger employers, ensuring every School or organisation can invest in upskilling staff, developing leadership capacity, and building a confident workforce.

Levy Transfers

If you’re not a Levy-paying organisation, you can still benefit from the Apprenticeship Levy through a Levy transfer.

Larger employers can transfer up to 25% of their unused Levy funds to other Schools, Trusts, or education providers, enabling other organisations to access fully funded apprenticeship programmes. A Levy transfer covers the 5% employer contribution usually required under the Co-Investment Model, meaning apprenticeships can be delivered at no cost to your organisation.

We’re proud to work with organisations nationwide who use their Levy funds to support CPD opportunities for teachers and staff across this highly valued sector.

If you’d like to explore apprenticeships but don’t currently have the budget, we’d love to discuss how we can help you secure a Levy transfer to fund your organisation’s professional development goals.
