2 Agenda Welcome and introduction to apprenticeship funding reforms Nick Linford, author of the Complete Guide to Funding Apprenticeships Levy funding for small and large employers final details Una Bennett, Funding Mechanism Deputy Director at the SFA Break for refreshments Extended Q&A on the funding reforms Una Bennett, Funding Mechanism Deputy Director at the SFA Break for lunch Using technology to harvest the opportunities from apprentice reforms Fiona Hudson-Kelly, CEO at Smart Assessor Applying to become a registered apprenticeship provider ( market entry ) Una Bennett, Funding Mechanism Deputy Director at the SFA Modelling the impact of the new levy system Nick Linford 15:30 End What four? 1. Four years so far In June 2012 Doug Richard was asked by the government to review apprenticeship content and funding 2. Four skills ministers so far John Hayes Matt Hancock took over Sept 2012 Nick Boles took over July 2014 Robert Halfon Took over July Four consultations so far (no going back) Closed September Visit for funding workshops 2

3 4. Key changes (no point pretending it s simple) 1. All frameworks to be replaced by standards Key changes: Standards are being designed by employer groups, require an end-point-assessment and often don t require any qualifications. Frameworks being switched off in phases through to 2019/ National funding formula replaced by negotiated rates Key changes: For apprentice starts from 1 May 2017 the SFA will no longer determine apprentice funding values using listed rates. Instead, providers and employers can negotiate a level of subsidy within one of 15 upper limits (from 1,500 to 27,000). 3. Extra 1bn for apprenticeships via a levy Key changes: From April employers will pay an extra 0.5% of their payroll above 3m into their levy pot. It s expected this will generate 2.5bn per year for England by 2019/20 and providers will access this pot via a new Digital Apprenticeship System. 4. A 90% subsidy when the employer levy pot is empty Key changes: If an employer has no levy pot (98% of employers) or it runs out, the SFA are paying 90% of the negotiated rate on condition the employer has paid 10% in cash first and that provider has an allocation. In the pilot, running since 2014, the subsidy is 67% if 33% paid first (concern over size of mandatory cash contribution). What s the reform really for? Reforms intended to be the solution to the problem of a lack of employer demand Employer demand will go up as will be in the driving seat and have ownership of: > The content & assessment (standards) > The funding (levy, fees and negotiation) > The oversight (Institute for Apprenticeships) But not everyone is convinced an employer owned model is compatible with supporting the young and social justice And not everyone is convinced a 3m starts target is compatible with a commitment to high quality Visit for funding workshops 3

5 What I will cover The apprenticeship levy Use of levy funds Apprenticeship funding including changes Contracting arrangements Using the digital apprenticeship service What is the apprenticeship levy and who pays it? Starts on 6 April 2017, at a rate of 0.5% of pay bill, paid through PAYE Applies to all UK employers in all sectors 15,000 allowance is not a cash payment Only 1.3% of employers will pay the levy Visit for funding workshops 5

6 Paying the levy Employers pay their levy to HMRC, through the PAYE process Single employers with multiple PAYE schemes will only have one allowance. Connected employers share one allowance LEVIED EMPLOYER Employer of 250 employees, each with a gross salary of 20,000. Pay bill: 250 x 20,000 = 5,000,000 Levy sum: 0.5% x 5,000,000 = 25,000 Allowance: 25,000 15,000 = 10,000 annual levy payment NON LEVIED EMPLOYER Employer of 100 employees, each with a gross salary of 20,000. Pay bill: 100 x 20,000 = 2,000,000 Levy sum: 0.5% x 2,000,000 = 10,000 Allowance: 10,000 15,000 = 0 annual levy payment Accessing levy funds to spend on training Levy funds will be available through a new digital service on gov.uk First funds appear in account in late May 2017 How funds in the account will be calculated If 100% of pay bill is in England If 80% of pay bill is in England 100% of levy payment in digital account 80% of levy payment in digital account 10% government top up to monthly funds entering an account Visit for funding workshops 6

What about non levy payers? Co Investment There are two types of employers who will benefit from government support towards the cost of their apprenticeships training: 1.

7 What about non levy payers? Co Investment There are two types of employers who will benefit from government support towards the cost of their apprenticeships training: 1. Employers who haven t paid the levy and want to purchase apprenticeship training from a provider 2. A levy paying employer who with insufficient funds in their digital account to pay for the cost of training and assessment they want to purchase The government will pay 90% of the costs of training and assessment. The employer will be responsible for paying 10% of the costs. Purchasing training Apprenticeships started before 1 May will be funded through to completion according to the existing rules New funding system comes into effect on 1 May 2017 The cost will be spread over the lifetime of the apprenticeship. We will hold back 20% of the total cost, to be paid on completion of the apprenticeship. Levied employers buying training from May 2017 Can commit to apprenticeship starts from the beginning of May Funds will automatically leave the digital account on a monthly basis Non levied employers buying training from May 2017 Continue to make payments direct to providers Move onto the digital system at a later date Visit for funding workshops 7

8 What can funds be used for? Digital funds and government funding can be used for: apprenticeship training and assessment against an approved framework or standard with an approved training provider and assessment organisation up to the funding band maximum for that apprenticeship Digital funds and government funding can not be used for wages travel and subsistence costs managerial costs traineeships work placement programmes the costs of setting up an apprenticeship programme Key changes Proposals in August Expiry of digital funds after 18 months Support for year old apprentices 1000 payment to employers and training providers Final funding policy Extended to 24 months helping employers to prepare for the new system and to adapt training programmes. Retaining the 1000 payments plus extra government funding to provide a transitional 20% uplift for providers training year olds on a framework. Also applies to year olds formerly in care or with an Education, Health and Care plan. Removal of disadvantage uplift Retain a simplified version of current system for frameworks for one year to support those from disadvantaged areas whilst review best way to support disadvantaged groups.

9 Funding bands Number Band limit 1 1, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,000 Every apprenticeship will be placed in a funding band The upper limit of each funding band will cap the maximum: amount of digital funds an employer who pays the levy can use towards an individual apprenticeship. that government will co invest towards, where an employer does not pay the levy or has insufficient digital Employers can negotiate the best price for the training they require If employers want to spend more than the funding band limit, using their own money, then they will be free to do that. Funding bands do not have a lower limit. Funding bands for frameworks We will allocate each individual framework pathway to: the nearest funding band based on the current rate of funding the government pays providers for training adult apprentices but with some extra support uplift STEM Support Additional support in areas of disadvantage Transitional support of 20% of funding band maximum paid directly to training providers Also applies to year olds formerly in care or have Education and Health Care plan For all STEM framework pathways we will increase the current government funded adult rate by 40% at Level 2 and 80% at Level 3 and above, and then allocate these frameworks to the nearest funding band. Training providers receive: An additional 600 for training an apprentice from top 10% of deprived areas, 300 for next 10% range and 200 for the next 7% range 18 Visit for funding workshops 9

10 Funding bands for standards Principles Lower cost standards should be allocated to the nearest funding band Those standards currently assigned to the widest and highest cost funding band will be allocated to a new band within this range. Taking into account: Actual prices employers have negotiated with providers. Evidence from Trailblazer employers on the estimated costs eligible apprenticeship training The funding bands set for equivalent frameworks The level and nature of the training, and consistency across similar types of apprenticeship standard. Additional support year olds Government will pay to employers, and a further to training providers if they train a year old apprentice Disadvantaged young people Government will pay to employers, and a further to training providers if they train year olds leaving care or who have a Local Authority Education and Healthcare plan Small Employers Employers with fewer than 50 employees will have 100% of the training and assessment costs covered when training a year old (or year old formerly in care or has a Local Authority Education, Health and Care plan Additional learning support We will pay training providers up to 150 a month to support these learners, plus additional costs based on evidenced need English and Maths training To meet minimum standards of English and maths we will pay training providers 471 for each of these qualifications (Level 1 and 2) Visit for funding workshops 10

11 Funding rules Cross border funding Applying a single test for funding through the English system: based on whether the apprentice s main place of employment is England. Workplace is where the apprentice is expected to spend the majority of their time during their apprenticeship. Transferring funding During 2018 we will introduce means for employers to transfer up to 10% of the levy funds to another employer with a digital account, or to an ATA. Prior qualifications Now and in the future, you can train any individual to undertake an apprenticeship at a higher level than a qualification they already hold. From May 2017, an individual can be funded to undertake an apprenticeship at the same or lower level to acquire substantive new skills New employer steering group to design this system so that it meets their needs Contracting Once you have been selected by an employer to deliver training to their apprentices, you will need to negotiate costs and ensure contracts are in place so that the funding can flow. The costs for any end point assessment will be included in the total price for the apprenticeship you agree with the employer. You will be required to pass this agreed amount on to the assessment organisation selected by the employer. Visit for funding workshops 11
