What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a blend of a full-time job with training. The apprentice will split their time 80/20. 80% of their working time will be spent carrying out their day-to-day job responsibilities. 20% of their time will be ‘off-the-job’ and spent working towards their apprenticeship qualification.
From August 1st 2022, the new minimum off the-job training requirement for a full-time apprentice is 20% of a 30 hour week (even if the apprentice works more than 30 hours per week); this equates to an average of 6 hours of off-the-job training per week.

Critical to the success of the apprenticeship, the learner has to be actively working towards the standards at least 20% of the time they are paid by you over a minimum duration of 12 months.
Whether that time is when they are having direct learning sessions, writing assignments, or applying their new skills in your workplace, they require the time to develop and become accomplished leaders over the duration of the apprenticeship… your business will reap the rewards from this investment of time.
