Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average funding band is for an apprenticeship programme at (a) L1, (b) L2, (c) L3, (d)L4, and (e)L5.

Information on the funding band on apprenticeship standards and frameworks by level can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeship-funding-bands.

Apprenticeships are allocated to funding bands based on the costs of delivering training and assessment. There are a wide range of factors that influence the funding band, including the length of the apprenticeship and whether it is an apprenticeship framework or standard. The Institute for Apprenticeships has been responsible for advising the department on the allocation of funding bands since April 2017.
