The Apprenticeship Levy The Apprenticeship Levy is a levy on UK employers with a pay bill of £3m or more. An organisation can use its levy to fund apprenticeship training against approved apprenticeship standards. These standards are developed by industry-led Trailblazer Groups and are based on occupational competence, and the knowledge, skills and behaviours of particular roles. The standard combines on-the-job experience, and off-the-job training with an academic qualification. The Cranfield Masterships® Executive MBA fulfills the needs of the Level 7 Senior Leader Master’s Degree Apprenticeship standard. This means your organisation may use its levy funds to sponsor you on our Executive MBA programme. Sponsored employees must have the right to work in the UK with their main place of work being England.
