How training and assessment may be funded.
The summary below concerns eligible training and assessment costs up to the funding-band maximum. Employers remain responsible for wages, agreed costs above the band and other costs outside the funded training.
| Employer / learner position | Funding position |
|---|---|
| Levy-paying employer with sufficient funds | Eligible costs can be paid through the apprenticeship service account. |
| Non-levy employer · apprentice aged 25+ | Government generally contributes 95%; employer contributes 5%. |
| Levy employer with insufficient funds · apprentice aged 25+ | Government generally contributes 75%; employer contributes 25%. |
| Non-levy employer, or levy funds exhausted · apprentice aged 16–24 | Eligible training and assessment can be fully government funded up to the band maximum. |
Age is assessed at the start of training. Other eligibility conditions apply; earlier starts follow the applicable rules for their start date. See the government funding policy ↗. Information checked 10 September 2026.
Your programme offer
Know what you are agreeing to.
The training plan
Your role, relevant prior learning, programme structure and planned training are reviewed before the learning arrangements are finalised.
The agreed price
KBC confirms the training and assessment price, employer contribution and payment arrangements in writing.
Optional professional extras
Additional qualifications, memberships and wider professional benefits are confirmed separately, including any costs or KBC support.
Other routes
Professional learning outside an apprenticeship.
For professional programmes and short courses, ask about employer-funded and individual learning options. Any bursary or scholarship has its own conditions, availability and written offer.
Discuss your circumstances before choosing a route. A booking or enquiry does not confirm an apprenticeship place or funding entitlement.
Let’s find your next step.
Talk to KBC about your experience, your goals and the right learning route for you.
