Hi Jo,
As far as i'm aware its all apprenticeships, minimum duration of 8 months.
Kind regards

Apprenticeship Funding Rules 2025/2026 v2
71. The provider must confirm that, after all relevant prior learning and experience has
been taken into account, the apprenticeship practical period lasts for a minimum
duration of 8 months. For example, to satisfy this requirement, an apprentice who
starts their training on 1 August 2025 must still be receiving training on 31 March
2026.
71.1. The apprenticeship standard specification or assessment plan may require
this practical period of training to be longer, to support the delivery of the
full apprenticeship content.
71.2. The end-point assessment can only be taken after the minimum duration
has been met.

Clarification on new 8 months min duration
Created
Hi there,
Can anyone provide clarification on the new 8 month min duration rule? Is this applicable to all apprenticeships? I can see that individual standards have min durations on them of mostly 12 months, so it's unclear. Many thanks in advance
Jo
