Off-the-job Training
The importance of off-the-job training
You will dedicate around 20% of your working hours to your learning and development. This equates to around one day a week. The minimum amount of time spent must be 6 hours a week (for those working 30 hours a week or more).
Apprentices who started their programmes before August 2022 are required to complete a minimum of 20% of their working hours on off the job training.

Where is this logged?
OneFile will calculate how many hours of OTJT you need to complete by the end of your Apprenticeship. You can log activity through your Timesheet or Learning Journal. We will monitor this throughout the program and work with you and your line manager to ensure you meet the requirement.
