Turn your Apprenticeship Levy into real business impact
How AKG can help
At AKG, we help organisations turn levy contributions into meaningful training, talent development and long-term workforce capability. We provide the expertise, delivery and support to make your investment work harder.
Use your levy to develop your workforce and build the skills your business needs. If you do not use all of it, AKG can also help you transfer unused levy through levy gifting as part of your social value and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy.
Use your levy to develop your own workforce
If you have teams that need upskilling, new managers stepping into leadership roles, or talent you want to retain and grow, your levy can fund apprenticeship training that supports real business needs.
We help you:
identify training priorities
match programmes to workforce needs
manage delivery and learner support
make better use of levy already paid before the funds expire
Can’t use all your levy yourself? Consider levy gifting
If you’re unlikely to use all of your levy, you may be able to transfer (gift) unused funds to other organisations.
Levy gifting allows your organisation to support apprenticeship training in SMEs and partner organisations, helping them invest in skills and jobs, at no extra cost to you. It is a practical way to create measurable social impact while making better use of levy funds that might otherwise expire.
With AKG, levy gifting can support areas such as:
Early Years workforce development
young people starting careers
housing and community-based services
priority sector skills gaps

Estimate how much funding your organisation could unlock
Use our simple calculator to estimate your annual Apprenticeship Levy contribution and the training funds available for apprenticeships.
How the calculation works
The UK Apprenticeship Levy applies to employers with an annual pay bill above £3 million. It is charged at 0.5% of the total pay bill, with an annual £15,000 levy allowance that reduces the amount payable.
Once paid, funds are credited to your Digital Apprenticeship Service account, where the government adds a 10% top-up, increasing the amount available to spend on apprenticeship training.
