Hours of training

Created

None

Hi - I am sure at some point I have seen written down the number of hours a learner is expected to attend in training, I don't mean for instance GLH against recommended GLH but hours that a learner actually attends a course - like a 7 hr day or a 8 hr day etc

Hope this makes sense

thanks in advance Mgt

For study programmes the following applies:

  1. ESFA does not fund study programmes of less than 2 weeks’ duration. Whilst there is no minimum number of hours that a study programme must have, no student’s planned hours should exceed 40 hours per week.

Other than this I have no knowledge of any requirement for the hours that a learner actually attends for any funding stream.

Thank you Martin - so if needed a learner can attend say 10 hours a day training over a shorter duration - not including Study Programmes

That would not be normal in FE delivery.

Has to be within the providers normal working hours so you can prove it was supervised. 

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris - just to go back to your response - is this documented in the Funding Rules anywhere please
