Funding

Apprenticeship Standard funding is dependant on whether an employer pays into the apprenticeship levy or not.

Large UK Employers with a pay bill of £3 million or more, pay an apprenticeship levy.

SMEs with a pay bill under £3million contribute 10% of the total apprenticeship cost and the Government pays the remaining 90%.

The Government will fund 100% of the cost of apprenticeship training for a 16-18 year old for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.

NOCN Fees

As a leading non-profit organisation we ensure that our charges are below the maximum 20% of the total apprenticeship.

When you contract us for your end point assessment you will pay a small fee upfront to secure support materials and assessment booking. The remaining balance is charged upon Gateway entry and end point assessment booking.

If you would like further information about our end point assessment fees and services please contact 0300 999 1177 or email nocn@nocn.org.uk.
