Thank you Martin
I'm assuming therefore that this rule is purely to confirm that an apprentice can have a second job, the apprenticeship doesn't have to be their sole employment?
What would the situation be if a potential apprentice had two part-time roles with the same employer, and was carrying out Standard-related activity in both roles. Could the hours be collated for the purposes of OTJ/minimum duration, or must we only use one role for the purposes of the apprenticeship?

Could anyone clarify the new funding rule around an apprentice having more than one employer at any one time? "P27.2 If the apprentice has more than one employer at any one time (e.g. two part-time job roles), then only one of these employers can be used for the purposes of the apprenticeship. This is so that the party undertaking the role of ‘employer’ in the apprenticeship, as defined in these funding rules, is clear".
I am assuming that the apprentice would have to be undertaking a similar role and OTJ activities for both employers, and that in practice both employers would input into the apprenticeship but only one would be on the official paperwork? The average weekly hours (and therefore min OTJ and duration) would be the total for both employers?
