The apprenticeship levy was introduced in 2017 as part of wider reforms to improve apprenticeship quality and employer engagement.
This research provides insight into the impact of the levy on employers’ decision-making and whether levy funds were used for additional training or to replace other forms of training. It also explores how employers and providers assess and account for prior learning amongst apprentices and how this affects apprentice experience.
