Gifted Levy

Apprenticeships are a key way for people to learn on the job, both for new starters to the NHS and for existing members of staff, allowing learners the opportunity to gain a qualification and apply their learning while continuing to earn a salary. Apprenticeships are suitable for any age and are a great way to learn new skills.

Large organisations in England pay the Apprenticeship Levy and can then use this to fund training for new and existing staff. There is also provision for them to give other organisations access to their funds, via a transfer.

All primary care employing organisations can take advantage of this offer, irrespective of their size.

What Apprenticeship training can be paid by the apprenticeship levy transfer?

Any registered apprenticeship standard can be funded through the apprenticeship levy transfer.

Do the funds cover all the apprenticeship training costs?

The funds pay for 100% of the training costs for both clinical and non-clinical roles.
