An apprentice completes on-the-job and off-the-job learning, these are recorded in their timesheets signed by their line manager and submitted each month

Apprentices must wear their Apprentice Uniform (if appropriate)  and name badge when in employed roles and when attending supernumerary practice

On-the-job learning – this is related to the time apprentices learn within their workplace. For instance, during theory blocks and after placement the apprentice returns to work in their employed role. During this time they should be supported to continue to practice and embed new knowledge and skills as they work.

Off-the-job learning – also known as “off-the-job training,” requires apprentices to spend a minimum of 20% of their paid working hours on studies, which is a statutory requirement for apprenticeships. As a RNDA these hours will be achieved through University theory blocks and during placement.
