‘Off-the-job’ training time is often seen as one of the most challenging aspects of apprenticeships. At Damar, we disagree. Off-the-job training is one of the biggest advantages of apprenticeships and the way in which we structure off-the-job ensures that it delivers the greatest possible benefit to employers and apprentices.
Off-the-job training can be defined quite simply as:
“The time an apprentice spends on activities where they are learning new knowledge, skills or behaviours relevant to the apprenticeship standard. off-the-job takes place during normal contracted working hours.”
