OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
You will be aware that as part of an apprenticeship, apprentices are required to undertake off-the-job training. The off-the-job training provides the time for your apprentice to focus and develop the required skills, knowledge and behaviours in order to achieve their apprenticeship, giving them a well-rounded skill set for the role they are training for. Off-the-job training is monitored and will have to be evidenced in order for the apprentice to go through gateway and reach their End Point Assessment (p14). Typically off-the-job training hours work out at 6 hours a week.
Examples of OFF-THE-JOB training (This must be done within the working hours.)
• College classes/online sessions • Research • Role-play • Simulation • Online learning – podcasts, webinars • Manufacturer training/in-house CPD events • Practical training • Shadowing
• Mentoring • Industry visits • Participations in competitions • Learning support • Time spent writing assignment or completing work towards knowledge, skills and behaviours • Reflections
Recording OFF-THE-JOB training
• It must be recorded on the off-the-job tracker - accessed by the College app or on the College internal Promonitor system • Apprentices must describe the task and note the knowledge, skills and behaviours they have developed.
• It must be realistic in time spent
• It should show progress and development over time
• Apprentices are required to record their off-the-job training at least once a week when not in the classroom, except when they are on annual leave.
• It must never be uploaded in bulk entries
• It must be entered using the date it occurred, not the date they are recording it
