Off The Job Training

  Off-the-job training delivers new skills that are directly relevant to the apprenticeship standard. 


Off the job activities and records are a part of the apprenticeship funding rules. Your Apprenticeship is funded by the government and this is a requirement set by them to ensure you are learning in the workplace.


For an apprentice who works 30+ hours per week the off the job training will be a minimum of 6 hours per week. Otherwise, it will be calculated as 20%.
