Frequently asked questions

If you can’t find the answer to a question, our helpful advisors will be happy to help.

Law apprenticeships are covered by employers through the Apprenticeship Levy. 

The Apprenticeship Levy is a tax that all employers with a payroll over £3m pay. You can utilise this levy to fund apprenticeship training programmes for employees across all levels. 

Employers who don’t pay into the Levy can also benefit from this apprenticeship. Here, the government will cover 95% of the apprenticeship costs, with the employer liable for just 5%.
