How Can We Support You?

At MATAAA, we work closely with schools and MATs to make apprenticeship funding simple and stress‑free.

 

Our support includes:

  • Reviewing your levy balance and expiry dates

  • Helping you plan apprenticeship pathways across your trust

  • Matching non‑levy schools with levy donors

  • Managing the levy transfer process from start to finish

  • Advising on the best apprenticeship standards for your staff

  • Supporting enrolment, onboarding, and programme planning

 

Whether you’re upskilling existing staff or recruiting new apprentices, we’re here to guide you.

Why Schools & MATs Use Apprenticeship Funding?

No impact on school budgets

  • Upskill staff at all levels

  • Support recruitment and retention

  • Develop future leaders internally

  • Strengthen teaching, support, and operational teams

 

Apprenticeships are a long‑term investment in your people and funding makes it accessible for every school.
