Costs of apprenticeships
You must pay the apprentice minimum wage when employing an apprentice, with many employers choosing to pay higher.
You can view apprenticeship wage information on the GOV.UK website.
Apprentices are paid for their normal working hours, training that is part of the apprenticeship and study towards English and Maths qualifications, if they are part of the apprenticeship.
Depending on your business size and the age of the apprentice, your training costs could be partly covered or you could event receive a government contribution of up to 100%.
You can use the calculator tool available, to estimate what funding could be available towards your apprentice’s training costs. Many training providers will also support you when working out costs.
