This depends on the Apprenticeship you’re considering. Each Apprenticeship has a maximum ‘funding band’ which outlines the cost of each Apprenticeship. You can find the full list on the Education & Skills Funding Agency website:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeship-funding-bandsNon-levy paying employers share the cost of training and assessing their apprentices with the government. This is called ‘co-investment’. In practical terms, this means that you will pay 5% towards the cost of Apprenticeship training, and the Government will pay the rest (95%), up to the funding band maximum.
Co-investment covers the paying for Apprenticeship training and assessment up to the funding band maximum. If the cost of training and assessment go over the funding band maximum, you will need to pay the difference with other funds from your own budget. You will be responsible for costs relating to your apprentices – such as wages, licenses to practise, travel and subsidiary costs, work placement programmes, or the setting up of an Apprenticeship programme.
