Eligibility to undertake an English Apprenticeship depends on the following and the general eligibility rules in the same section:

P68.7 Spend at least 50% of their working hours in England over the duration of the apprenticeship. When determining eligibility at the start of the apprenticeship, you must be confident that the apprentice will spend at least 50% of their working hours in England over the duration of the apprenticeship. For working hours to be counted in the 50% limit, they must be regular, planned, and known at the start of the apprenticeship. Refer to Annex A (paragraph P410) for exceptions to this rule.

P68.7.1 You must make separate arrangements with the relevant devolved administration if you are planning to deliver apprenticeships to individuals who spend more than 50% of their working hours in a devolved administration over the duration of their apprenticeship, including time spent on off-the-job training.

Thanks Martin; I thought that would be the case but just wanted to check; mainly due to the nature of NI's devolved Govt status. Thanks
