What is the apprenticeship levy transfer?

@NHS_HealthEdEng #TalentForCare

  • Levy-paying organisations can transfer up to a maximum of 25 per cent
  • f the value of their annual levy fund to any other employer
  • Transfers can only be used to pay for training and assessment for

apprenticeship standards and only for new starts

  • Transfers are managed through the apprenticeship service, with

payments made monthly from the sending employer account into the receiving employer account

  • Any employer wishing to receive and use any transferred funds must

register and set up an account with the apprenticeship service, and have a signed agreement with the Education and Skills Funding Agency

Myth Busting

  • Not just the 5 per cent co-investment; the sender pays for the whole

apprenticeship (in full up to the top of the funding band)

  • Not a lump sum; levy is transferred on a monthly basis for the

duration of the apprenticeship

  • Levy paying organisations can receive a transfer

Rules

  • You can’t transfer funds to another employer if you currently receive

a transfer

  • If you’re currently transferring funds to another employer, you can’t

receive transferred funds to pay for your apprenticeships

  • Transfer payments will leave your apprenticeship service account

first, each month

  • If the apprenticeship stops, your transferred payments will stop as

well

  • Training providers can not transfer funds, then deliver the

apprenticeship

Benefits for Sender

  • Utilise Levy funding that will expire after 24 months
  • Direct funds in a way that benefits your organisation
  • Transfer funds to multiple employers
  • Support the viability of apprenticeship programmes

– Your trust may find itself in a situation where it only wants/needs to put a certain number of people onto an apprenticeship but the training provider requires a larger number to run the programme.

  • Outsourced services/supply chain

– Set up an agreement with an outsourced service, or an organisation in your supply chain, to fund an apprentice who will indirectly support service delivery and patient experience.

Benefits for Receiver

  • Training for the apprenticeship will be paid in full (no co-investment)
  • Get help, advice and support from the transferring employer
  • Allow non-Levy payers access to all Training Providers on RoATP
  • Increase business productivity
  • Develop their existing workforce
  • Attract new talent

@NHS_HealthEdEng #TalentForCare

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Employers who want to receive a transfer

  • Employers can only use the transferred funds for apprenticeship training

and assessment

  • Employers need to create an account on the apprenticeship service to

receive the transfer and pay for apprenticeship training

  • Sign an agreement with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA)
  • Transfer payments will be made monthly
  • If the apprenticeship stops then the funding will stop too
  • The employer won’t have to pay any funds back to the sending employer
  • If the employer sending you funds runs out of money, the employer must

make the relevant employer co-investment contribution

  • A transfer can fund up to the funding band maximum of a standard, if the

cost of training is more, the employer will have to pay the difference to the training provider

Levy Deposits Levy Spend The Levy Pot

  • The levy pot is like a bucket with a tap.
  • On a monthly basis, the levy you pay

(levy deposit) enters the bucket at the top and fills up the bucket from the bottom.

  • It takes 2 years for the bucket to fill up

unless you turn on the tap (ie spend your levy).

  • The amount you spend affects how

quickly your bucket fills up but unless you spend as much as you deposit, your bucket will start to gradually fill.

  • When you spend your levy, the money

comes from the bottom of the bucket, meaning you are always spending the

  • ldest levy money in your bucket first.

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Levy Deposits Levy Spend The Levy Pot Expired Funds

  • If your bucket is full, you need to spend

more each month than you are depositing in order to start emptying your bucket.

  • With a full bucket, spending the same

amount that you are depositing each month just means your bucket is full but not leaking.

  • If your bucket is full and you are spending

less than you are depositing, money “leaks” out of the tap (again, the oldest money first).

  • Whatever money “leaks” out gets sucked

up by HM Treasury and is no longer accessible to us.

With all that in mind, why would we not consider transferring more levy to employers who don’t have any?

Levy Deposits Levy Spend The Levy Pot

  • Trust A has a bucket which can hold

£1.2m of levy and pays in £50k per month.

  • Trust A currently spends £50k per month

and therefore their bucket stays full but isn’t leaking.

  • Trust A gets asked to transfer money for

10 nursing apprentices, costing £270k.

  • Trust A is nervous about transferring levy

as they want to have more apprentices and will therefore spend more money.

  • Trust A want to start a further 30 nursing

apprentices (costing £810k) and feel committing to the levy transfer will make things too tight.

£1.2million £50k

@NHS_HealthEdEng #TalentForCare https://haso.skillsforhealth.org.uk/

SLIDE 16

Is the situation too financially risky?

  • Not necessarily… the total amount that is being spent here is

£1,080,000 but over 4 years this amounts to £22500 per month.

  • Spending an additional £22,500 per month on top of the £50k that

is being spent would mean it would take 53 months to empty the full bucket, by which point the apprentices will have finished.

  • As long as the monthly levy deposit doesn’t change, this is a risk

free transfer.

  • In reality, it would probably take longer than this for the pot to be used up

because the £50k per month that was already being spent will reduce as existing apprentices finish their courses, meaning the total monthly spend will reduce over time.

  • For example, if you have a cohort of 10 business admin apprentices due to

finish in 12 months and 10 nursing associates due to finish in 18 months (top

  • f funding band), the levy forecast looks like the following graph.

With those 2 cohorts of apprentices finishing it now means there is over £500k more in the levy pot wen the nursing apprentices and transfer finishes. @NHS_HealthEdEng #TalentForCare https://haso.skillsforhealth.org.uk/

  • Both the examples I have given don’t take into account

completion payments being retained and paid at the end (I have done a simple average of costs across the apprenticeship duration).

  • In reality, the profile of the graph will be more spiky as apprentices

start and finish programmes, with completion payments causing large variances.
