Changes to funding for Level 7 Apprenticeships – Updates

3 April, 2025

In September 2024, the Department for Education announced that it would be asking employers to fund a significant number of level 7 apprenticeships themselves, outside of the apprenticeships budget or levy-funded growth and skills offer.

The Department for Education expects to make a final decision on affected apprenticeships in due course. Updates will be published on the page at the below link.

Learners who have already started a level 7 apprenticeship will be funded through to completion.

Level 7 apprenticeships which are no longer eligible for government funding will continue to be available for employers to fund themselves.
