I have been doing PAYE for years now but have an opportunity to start doing payroll for an umbrella company. I see a few unfamiliar items on an example umbrella payslip such as assignment rate and apprenticeship levy so I wanted to get some training in this area but I have searched high and low no one seems to offer it
Could anyone recommend me a company that does? Thank you for the help

"I have been doing PAYE for years now but ... I see a few unfamiliar items ... such as ... apprenticeship levy" ?!?
If such a basic aspect is unknown to you, then you need a LOT more experience before taking on the PAYE processing for a substantial operation than can be gained by some 'training'. At that level of operation Payroll is so much more than merely putting in the hours & rates and reporting via RTI - which is why suitable software packages can cost several £,000s and the support services are not just a few £s per payslip!
By all means talk to the major suppliers of professional Payroll training, including the CIPP, but you'd still need a couple of years of practical experience gained in an environment with plenty of specialists to cover the aspects where you encounter the previously unknown (to you). Otherwise the pain could be almost infinite.
