Jessica De Melo really? I would have thought that it should be just 600. Just because the learner has gone beyond their PED shouldn't mean that they need to revise the planned hours. I would have thought that the 620 actual would have been okay.
Jessica De Melo I would definitely report that response back to ESFA. They need to stop that helpdesk person repeating wrong information.

20% OTJ hours
Created
Hi - I'd like to see if anybody has come across this scenario before please and what the situation was. If we have an apprentice that needed to do 600 hours as a minimum 20% of their OTJ hours over the planned duration of their practical period, however, they didn't complete it within the planned end date but continued passed their planned end date and 3 months after their planned end date they had achieved 620 hours of OTJ. Would this still count as a valid apprenticeship as they have accumulated the 20% (and more) of their planned practical period or do we need to view the 20% hours including the extra 3 months that they were on programme so recalculate and increase the 20% by the extra 3 months?
