Apprentices – do you know what you need to be doing for yours ?

Do you have apprentices? Are you up to date on the requirements?

We’re rapidly discovering that not many employers are aware of the rules that came into effect earlier this year about apprenticeships. It doesn’t seem that all training providers / assessors are keeping employers are up to date.

The key change to be aware of is that AT LEAST 20% of the paid working week must be off-the-job training. This can be time spent at college but may include other training activities if they are relevant to the apprenticeship.
