Higher and degree apprenticeship funding for SMEs

Find out how higher and degree apprenticeships are funded for Non-Levy small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) at UWE Bristol.

From 1 April 2019, government funding available for SME employers rose to 95% - leaving only 5% of the training programme costs to be paid by the employer. For example, for an undergraduate degree apprenticeship with a funding cap of £27,000, the employer would only have to contribute £1,350.

Drawing on our long-standing experience in supporting businesses and organisations in developing their workforce, we will work with you to develop a training plan to suit your business needs. We'll also provide support throughout, and give you periodic reviews.
