As an employer you may be aware of the recent apprenticeship reforms including the introduction of the apprenticeship levy. Many organisations are still unsure of the changes and if they affect them, particularly employers operating cross-border.

Leading awarding body SQA has developed an interactive guide to apprenticeships and the levy designed to help employers better understand the changes.

This interactive guide provides an overview of the differences in apprenticeships (types, levels, funding etc) across the four home nations and makes the complex reforms straightforward to understand. The guide also contains links to access further information, if required.
