Yes, AAT apprenticeships are funded by the UK government through two main routes: the Apprenticeship Levy and co-investment.

• The Apprenticeship Levy applies to large employers with an annual payroll over £3 million. These organisations pay into the levy and can then use those funds to cover 100% of the apprenticeship training costs.
• Co-investment is available to smaller employers who don’t pay the levy. In this case, the government typically covers 95% of the training cost, and the employer contributes just 5%.

This means businesses can access government-funded accounting courses at little to no cost, making AAT accounting apprenticeships a highly cost-effective way to develop their finance teams.

Importantly, training is completely free for learners, removing financial barriers to gaining valuable qualifications.
