Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours completing off-the-job learning which leads to a nationally recognised qualification.
An apprenticeship includes:
- Paid employment with annual leave
- Hands on experience in a sector/role of interest
- At least 20% off-the-job training
- Formal assessment which leads to a nationally recognised qualification
