How does funding work?
The Multi-Channel Marketer apprenticeship has a total cost of £11,000. However, before you have a panic attack, here’s the exciting part: There are different ways of funding apprenticeships depending on your organisation. There are two primary routes for funding: Co-Investment and Levy Contributions.
Smaller non-profits
If your organisation’s annual wage bill is under £3 million, you’ll immediately get a 95% discount on apprenticeship costs—yes, 95%! The UK government covers most of the cost if you have fewer than 50 employees.
But it gets even better…
✅ If you have under 50 employees & hire someone 21 or younger, the government covers 100% of the course cost—that’s £11,000!
✅ If you hire a 16-18-year-old, you’ll also get a £1,000 incentive.
Larger non-profits
If your organisation’s annual wage bill exceeds £3 million, you’re required to pay 0.5% into a Levy fund to support training and apprenticeships.
But here’s the catch—if you don’t use these funds within 24 months, they’re lost. Every year, thousands of businesses miss out on this opportunity. Make sure that’s not you!
So, what would you end up paying?
Here are three quick examples of how apprenticeship funding works for non-profits:
✅ Smaller Non-Profits (Under 50 Employees)
Hire a 16-21-year-old, and the UK government fully funds the apprenticeship—you just cover their salary (£15,000 – £20,000) with no NI contributions. If they’re 16-18, you also get a £1,000 incentive.
✅ Medium Non-Profits (50+ Employees)
If you hire a 22+ year-old or have 50+ employees, you’ll pay just 5% of the apprenticeship cost—typically £475 – £550.
✅ Larger Non-Profits (£3m+ Payroll)
With a £3m+ annual payroll (about 100+ employees), you can fund apprenticeships using your Levy contributions.
