New/revised apprenticeship agreement
Edited
None
If a learner returns from a BIL, we revise the existing apprenticeship agreement to account for the extended duration and generally include the return to learning date alongside the original start date. We also usually include the OTJ hours for the remainder of the programme alongside the OTJ hours originally agreed which cover the full duration - this is just so it's entirely transparent for all concerned.
The new software we're using doesn't allow for this. Would it be acceptable to create a new apprenticeship agreement when the learner returns with start dates, planned end dates, and OTJ hours which apply only to the remainder of the programme.. on the basis that we retain the original apprenticeship agreement in the learner file as well? The PED would still be extended to account for the time the learner was on their break and the ILR would be processed in much the same way as we always have done, in accordance with the PSM.
My thoughts are "yes", but curious to see how others have tackled similar situations where 'updating' the original agreement(s) is not possible
