20% OFF THE JOB TRAININGDetail of how the 20% off-job-training will be met: The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), on behalf of the government, have incorporated into the Apprenticeship funding rules a requirement that all Apprentices must have at least 20% of their Apprenticeship as “off the job training”. The reason for this is to ensure that a quality programme is delivered by the employer and the training provider, which adds value to the Apprenticeship. This will benefit not only the learner, but also the employer, who will then end up with a skilled, well-rounded employee by the end of the Apprenticeship. Off the Job Training (OJT) can include training that is delivered at the Apprentice’s normal place of work, but must not be delivered as part of their normal working duties. Training towards Functional Skills in maths and English is not allowed to count towards the 20%.
