Last Day of Learning - Apprentices

I have been using the last date that they have evidenced on their off-the-job training log, but would be interested to hear what others use too.

Joanne Sage are you doing checks that the last date on their OTJ log meets the requirements of relevant to the standard and is teaching new KSBs?  I am just thinking that some learners might record something that doesn't actually class as OTJ/learning.  I feel it is quite subjective.

Yes we do thorough checks on all OTJT logs and are quite strict on rejecting any that we feel fall outside the funding rules, so I would be satisfied that they have recorded actual new learning relevant to the standard.

Agree with Joanne. If it doesn't meet the reqs you mention Lisa then it's not valid OTJ anyway, also remember revision is now eligible so, eg, a mock professional discussion would be legit both as OTJ and as a last date.

I'm not sure a mock professional discussion would count, since that is preparing for the EPA, not training or revision in the KSBs.
