Off-the-job training
The apprentice needs to provide evidence of the learning they are receiving from the employer which is called Off the Job Learning. This needs to be a minimum of 6 hours per week. The training can include onsite training they receive from a mentor, standard induction training and general day-to-day learning of new tasks.
Off-the-job training can form part of regular weekly sessions or combined for larger blocks of time, depending on the approach which works best for the employer. The Chesterfield College team can help advise on appropriate off-the-job training if required.
