The amount your organisation contributes will depend on whether you pay the apprenticeship levy and the age of your apprentice.

For new starts from 1 August 2026, eligible apprentices aged 16–24 can have their training and assessment fully funded up to the apprenticeship funding band maximum.

Non-levy employers normally contribute 5% of eligible training and assessment costs for apprentices aged 25 and over, with government funding the remaining 95%.

Levy-paying employers use the funds available in their apprenticeship service account. If those funds are exhausted, training for eligible apprentices aged 16–24 is fully government funded; for apprentices aged 25 and over, the employer contributes 25% and government contributes 75%.

Funding rules and eligibility vary, so we will confirm the funding available before an apprentice starts.

Level 3

The assessment for this course will be completed remotely. The Professional Discussion will be carried out between the learner and course tutor and the time allowed for this is one hour. Learners will be given an agenda and time to prepare for the discussion, where they will be supported to discuss all of the things they have learned on the course. This will be video recorded to meet FAA requirements.
