Besides Government financial support, there is also the option of taking out an advanced learning loan This is providing your course is a level 3 or above, and you are 19 or over.

Funding explained for employers
There is Government assistance available for employers who want to take on an apprentice. Generally, this is 90% of costs of training and assessment. Importantly, this is for employers who have a staff wage bill of less than £3m. So employers with a bigger wage bill must use their apprenticeship levy funds instead. Apprentices’ wages must be paid for by the employer.
