Extending Programme - part time learner
Created
Hi, we have a learner who is employed 21.5 hours per week
We note in the funding rules that:
E36 Where a part-time working pattern is needed, you must agree with the main provider and the apprentice the extended apprenticeship duration. The minimum duration must be extended using the following formula:
E36.1 12 x 30/average weekly hours = new minimum duration in months;
or E36.2 52 x 30/average weekly hours = new minimum duration in weeks.
Our programme is 61 weeks therefore 61x30/21.5 average weekly hours = 85.12 new minimum duration in weeks.
85.12 weeks minus 61 weeks = 24.15 weeks.
24.15 is approx 5.5 months - Therefore the programme needs to be extended by 5.5 months - is this correct?
