Off The Job Training
Off-the-Job Training (OJT) is one of the key requirements for all apprenticeship standards.

This figure was chosen as it represents 20% of 30 hours, which all part-time apprentices are currently doing.
The 6 hours per week is for calculation purposes only; once calculated the programme can still be delivered flexibly
