Off-the-job hours are a core part of any apprenticeship. They’re not extra work and they’re not something to squeeze in after hours. They’re planned learning activities that help apprentices build knowledge, skills, and behaviours beyond day-to-day tasks.

This page is here to make off-the-job hours clearer, more practical, and easier to evidence. No jargon. Just real examples of what counts and how to use the time well.

More guidance and examples will be added over time.
