What is and what is not off-the-job training during an apprenticeship?
Off-the-job training is a statutory requirement for an apprenticeship in England. It is training, which is received by each learner, during their normal, paid working hours, for the purpose of achieving the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the approved apprenticeship referenced in the apprenticeship agreement. By normal working hours we mean paid hours excluding overtime.
It is not on-the-job training which is training received for the sole purpose of enabling the learner to perform the work for which they have been employed. By this we mean training that does not specifically link to the knowledge, skills and behaviours set out in the apprenticeship standard.
We will provide practical ideas and solutions to each employer to ensure that the off-the- job training can be clearly evidenced and is of value to the employer and the apprentice.

We believe the importance for employers to recognise that they can learn from their apprentice too as the information they are gaining from Learn Plus Us is current and in line with requirements.
