Learning Hours

Off-the-job training is a statutory requirement for an English apprenticeship. It is training which is received by the apprentice within their practical period, during the apprentice’s normal working hours, excluding overtime, for the purpose of achieving the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the apprenticeship they are undertaking.

The minimum volume of off-the-job training will be published on the front of each apprenticeship standard and represents the minimum delivery requirement for an apprentice with no relevant prior learning. The published figure can only be reduced if there is evidence of relevant prior learning from the apprentice’s initial assessment. Some apprentices and some standards will require more than the minimum. Off-the-job training can include the teaching of theory, practical training, learning support, time spent writing assignments and revision.

There are no formal entry requirements for this apprenticeship although an initial assessment will take place to ensure the apprenticeship is the most appropriate training programme for the individual and employer. Candidates will need to be resident in the UK and in employment (with at least 50% of the working hours in England). Individual employers will set the selection criteria for their Apprenticeship and employment role.

As a guide, candidates might have A Levels (or equivalent) or existing relevant level 3 qualifications. Other relevant qualifications or prior experience may also be considered as an alternative alongside consideration of the suitability of the role being undertaken and the opportunities to develop and apply the required knowledge, skills and behaviours.

Typically, candidates will demonstrate Information Communication Technology (ICT) skills at Level 2. Where additional support is required, our designated Apprenticeship Support Officers provide guidance throughout the apprenticeship, helping apprentices develop the knowledge and skills needed to successfully complete their programme and progress to Gateway

There are no upper age restrictions, although all apprentices must be aged over 18 as a minimum.

Applications for this programme can only be made through the sponsoring employer.

Each employer must:

• Identify apprentices that may be suitable for the [insert as appropriate] Apprenticeship;
• Ensure the apprentice is undertaking real work, which is productive and gives apprentices opportunities to access, develop, practice and evidence knowledge and skills to meet the standard;
• Allow the apprentice to attend external off-the-job training and assessment as part of their normal paid working hours;
• Take part in quarterly reviews with Lincoln Bishop to review the apprentice’s progress;
• Be expected to employ an apprentice for the full duration of their apprenticeship;
