So what exactly is apprenticeship training, how does the 100% work-based model work and why should you consider it as an option for your apprentices?<\/p>\n<h2>What is apprenticeship training?<\/h2>\n<p>On an apprenticeship, the apprentice is employed to do a real job while completing off-the-job training, which must take up 20% of their total time on the apprenticeship.<\/p>\n<p>The ESFA defines this as &#8216;training which is received by the apprentice, during the apprentice\u2019s normal working hours, for the purpose of achieving the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the approved apprenticeship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apprentices need to evidence the time they have spent on training in order to achieve their qualification, so this is not something that can be sidestepped or left until the end of the apprenticeship.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the different training delivery models?<\/h2>\n<p>There are three typical models that training providers offer for apprenticeship training. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Block release<\/li>\n<li>Day release<\/li>\n<li>100% work-based model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Block release refers to apprentices who spend all their time in the workplace, apart from blocks of several weeks where they would attend a college or training provider\u2019s premises to complete training.<\/p>\n<p>Day release refers to apprentices who typically spend four days a week in the workplace, and then attend a college or training provider site for one day a week. Others may just attend one day every two or four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In the 100% work-based model, the apprentice would not regularly attend classes at a college or training provider. All of the training is delivered in the workplace. This is a model that has been developed to provide employers and apprentices with greater flexibility.<\/p>\n<h2>How does it work?<\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of which training delivery model is used, apprentices must spend 20% of their apprenticeship completing off-the-job training. With day release and block release, some or most of this 20% is satisfied with the time the apprentice spends training at the college or training provider\u2019s premises, in classes and workshops.<\/p>\n<p>The 100% work-based model uses a blended approach of various types of training, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Face-to-face visits from a trainer in the workplace;<\/li>\n<li>Remote visits from a trainer in the workplace, which could take place over the telephone or by video conferencing;<\/li>\n<li>Webinars and other streamed learning sessions;<\/li>\n<li>Discussion forums, Q&amp;A sessions;<\/li>\n<li>Online learning platforms, which allow the apprentice to work through activities, units or modules in their own time, with the use of documents, videos, links and interactive elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What else counts as off-the-job training?<\/h2>\n<p>Both the employer and the training provider are responsible for an apprentice\u2019s training. Therefore, the off-the-job training of any apprenticeship can, and should, involve other elements not directly set as pieces of work by the training provider. Examples of training that an employer can provide and which would count towards the 20% off-the-job training element include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Knowledge \u2013 The teaching of theory through lectures, role playing, simulation exercises, online learning;<\/li>\n<li>Practical training \u2013 shadowing, mentoring, industry visits and participation in competitions;<\/li>\n<li>Learning support and time given to the apprentice for writing assessments \/ assignments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So additional courses that the apprentice participates in, receiving tutoring or help from a more senior member of staff for exams or assignment work, observing internal or client meetings that the apprentice wouldn\u2019t normally be involved in, and personal development sessions with a supervisor \/ manager, would all count as off-the-job training, provided that the activities expand the skills, knowledge and behaviours that are outlined in the relevant apprenticeship standard.<\/p>\n<h2>Why use it?<\/h2>\n<p>The 100% work-based training delivery model offers employers a number of benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, it means that training does not get interrupted. The unprecedented events we saw during the COVID pandemic have led to colleges and training providers stop all face-to-face classroom sessions. For many apprentices, this has meant that their training has fallen behind as they are not able to maintain the 20% off-the-job component of their apprenticeship. For apprentices on a 100% work-based model, they have been able to continue seamlessly, by engaging with the online resources they have already been using throughout their apprenticeship.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, it offers the apprentice and the employer greater flexibility. Training can be scheduled in when it is convenient and fits in best with the employer. This can be particularly useful where an employer has a number of apprentices on one cohort, so they are not all away from work at the same time, attending classes.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, this model preparers the apprentice for a more flexible and varying future of work, where lifelong learning and continuing professional develop will be crucial. Apprentices develop the skillset to continuously seek out learning opportunities for themselves, rather than relying on more traditional forms of training and workshops. This empowers the apprentice and stands them in good stead to continue to grow and learn throughout their careers, even when the apprenticeship is over.<\/p>\n<h2>How can I find a training provider which offers this model?<\/h2>\n<p>Compass Skills Training offer a 100% work-based option on all of our apprenticeship standards.\u00a0 Want to find out more?
