FUNDING & PAYMENT
Funding & Employer Support
The level 6 conveyancing apprenticeship is designed to be a cost-effective solution for firms looking to grow their internal expertise. With multiple funding routes available, we ensure the financial barrier to starting an apprenticeship in conveyancing is as low as possible for both the firm and the individual.
Levy-Paying Employers (Paybill over £3m)
100%
If your firm pays into the Apprenticeship Levy, you can use your existing digital account funds to cover 100% of the training costs for the level 6 conveyancing apprenticeship. This allows you to reinvest your levy contributions directly into your team's professional growth.
Non-Levy Paying Employers
95%
For firms that do not pay the levy, the government provides significant support through "co-investment." The government pays 95% of the training costs for your conveyancing apprenticeship, with your firm contributing only the remaining 5%.
Small Employers (Fewer than 50 employees)
100%
Smaller firms may be eligible for 100% government funding for an apprenticeship in conveyancing when the apprentice is aged 16–21 (or up to 24 with an EHCP). This makes the path to qualification virtually cost-free for the employer.
