Your apprenticeship levy now expires in 12 months. How much are you about to lose?
From August 2026, levy funds expire after 12 months instead of 24, the government's 10% top-up has gone, and once your balance runs out you pay 25% of training costs rather than 5%. Most levy payers have not worked out what that means for them. We do it for you, independently, using the Department for Education's own achievement data.

Why independent matters
Most levy advice comes from training providers, who are paid when you start apprentices with them. We do not deliver training. Providers on our shortlists are chosen on the Department for Education's published achievement rates, and no provider can pay to be on one. If we have a commercial relationship with any provider we name, we say so in your report.
Who it is for
Employers with a pay bill over £3 million who pay the apprenticeship levy, especially if you have a balance building up, have not started many apprentices, or are not sure what will expire first. If you are not a levy payer, apprenticeships for under-25s are now fully funded and you do not need this: search our rankings instead.
