Employer story · Resolve Accountancy on why finance apprenticeships work for their business.

What it costs

Most of the training cost is paid by government. Here's how.

Read the full funding guidance →
Hiring someone aged 16 to 24Fully funded

For new starts from August 2026, government pays 100% of the training and assessment cost if you don't pay the levy, or your levy funds have run out. Most of the vacancies we fill qualify.

Plus a £2,000 hiring payment for non-levy employers from October 2026.
Non-levy employer, apprentice aged 25 or overYou pay 5%

Government pays the other 95% of the training and assessment cost directly to Solveway. You pay the apprentice's wages as you would any employee.

If you pay the apprenticeship levyUse your levy

The training is paid from your levy account. We help you set up the apprenticeship service account and reserve the funds. If your funds run out, 16 to 24-year-olds are still fully funded; for over-25s you contribute 25%.

Funding rules are set by the Department for Education and change each August; we confirm what applies to your business on the first call. Figures reflect the apprenticeship funding rules for August 2026 to July 2027.

How it works

One conversation, then we take it from there.

1,500+

applicants to Solveway vacancies last month. We read every one, so you only meet the best.

Step 1 · Your time: one call

A conversation about your business, not a sales pitch

We call you back within one working day. We talk through what you need — a new hire, existing staff who need new skills, or a gap you're not sure how to fill — and tell you straight whether an apprenticeship is the right fit. If it isn't, we say so.

  • Recruit, upskill, or both
  • The role, the level and the likely salary band
  • Funding: what applies to your business

“What are you trying to solve — a vacancy, or skills in the team you've got?”
“Both, really. We need an IT support person and our accounts assistant wants to move up.”
“That's an IT Level 3 vacancy and an AAT Level 3 for your existing colleague. Here's how the funding works for each…”

Good to know

Questions employers ask us.

Apprenticeships aren't one-size-fits-all. Here are a few useful starting points.

Can we use apprenticeships to train existing employees?

Yes. Apprenticeships can support eligible existing employees who need substantial new skills for their role. We discuss prior learning, their job responsibilities and the right training programme before recommending a route.

Can Solveway help us recruit a new apprentice?

Yes. Our employer team can help you define the role, advertise the opportunity, screen applicants and prepare a shortlist. We also support the apprenticeship training and onboarding process.

How does apprenticeship funding work?

Most of the training cost is paid by government. Apprentices aged 16 to 24 are fully funded for non-levy employers; for older apprentices non-levy employers contribute 5%; levy-paying employers use their levy. We work with you to confirm exactly what applies to your business before you commit to anything.

What if we don't know which apprenticeship is right?

That is completely fine. Tell us what skills or roles you need to develop. We can discuss the options and whether an apprenticeship is suitable.

What happens after we send an enquiry?

A member of our employer team calls you within one working day to discuss your workforce needs, suitable programmes and the next steps. An enquiry doesn't commit you to an apprenticeship.
