Hi all, 

For a part time Learner, is the minimum contracted weekly hours that they can work to undertake an apprenticeship 16 hours? Or can it be less than this?

Kind regards,

Tom

There is no minimum working hours specified in the funding rules, but the following applies:

P36.2 The apprentice must work enough hours each week so that they can undertake sufficient regular training and any on-the-job activity (if required). This is to ensure the apprentice is likely to successfully complete their apprenticeship. You must keep evidence of the agreed average weekly hours, including time spent on off-the-job training, in the evidence pack.

P36.3 The employer must allow the apprentice to complete the off-the-job training within their normal working hours, in addition to any English and maths training they require. They must provide you with evidence of this for you to keep in the evidence pack.
