Hi all,
I am currently looking into Apprenticeship for our company. We are SME and don't pay apprenticeship levy at this moment so we'd be looking at co-investment apprenticeship. This is a very new topic for me, and I woudl appreciate any advice and hints you could give me - easy to read guide. I am looking into the usual places and indeed reading through all the requirements and policies published on gov website as such, but it woudl be great to get a real practice advice.
Essentially:
- can we use apprenticeship training schemes for our current staff or is this only for new recruits?
- Is there any limit as to how much money can we claim on apprenticeship in any one year accroos various bands? (for example if we were to participate in 5 various apprenticeship schemes for different areas of our business and claimed 95% back on the training for each - is there any limit as to how much can we claim in total)?
Many thanks for any tips.

Hello Liba,
You can use apprenticeship qualifications for new and existing staff. Check out the Institute of Apprenticeships website for full listings of all the apprenticeship qualifications.
Sorry I can't help with your second question as it's not something I have experience of as we are a levy paying business.
Hope this helps,
Martyn
Hi Martyn,
Thanks ever so much for your reply. I'm in touch with the Institute and getting a great advice. I'll update here when I know more, hopefully other people find it useful too.
Thanks again for your comment.
