Apprenticeship Levy Managed Services

The CALM approach

The Apprenticeship Levy is not just there to pay for the young apprentices you may set on each year. It is a tax to fund all apprenticeships and your organisation pays the levy whether you use it or not.

Fortunately, apprenticeship frameworks are designed for all ages and are very flexible.

Given the right assistance, your organisation can use its Levy pot to fund valuable programmes that benefit your workforce and your business.

Thanks to our work in designing and delivering thousands of apprenticeship programmes, the Education Compliance team have the skills and resourced to offer a flexible package of assistance to Levy-paying organisations.

"Working with Education Compliance during the last two years has been most enjoyable. The support provided is outstanding and communication is effective and efficient. I receive reviews with my contract manager providing me with constructive feedback which I have found beneficial in developing my skills further. Being observed by an Internal Consultant provided me with guidance on areas for improvement and strengths, and using the shared HR Toolkit, I can complete relevant training and CPD."
