Compliance

Apprenticeship compliance requires that both the Learning Plan and the Apprenticeship Agreement are in place and accurately reflect the apprentice’s programme.

The Learning Plan outlines the structure, content, and timeline of the training, ensuring it aligns with the apprenticeship standard and the apprentice’s job role.

The Apprenticeship Agreement is a legally binding document between the employer and apprentice, confirming the employment arrangement and commitment to the apprenticeship. Together, these documents ensure that the apprenticeship is delivered in line with funding rules and regulatory requirements.

 

  • Apprenticeship Agreement

    The apprenticeship agreement is statutory requirement for an apprenticeship in connection with an approved apprenticeship standard. It forms part of the individual employment arrangements between the apprentice and you the employer. It is a contract of service (i.e. a contract of employment) and not a contract of apprenticeship.

    The purpose of the apprenticeship agreement is to identify the apprenticeship standard connected to the apprenticeship, the dates, and duration of the apprenticeship that is expected to take place, along with the amount of off-the-job training that you are to receive.

    All apprentices MUST sign this prior to their first formal day in teaching. Funding is at risk where this is not signed which may result in you being withdrawn from the apprenticeship. 

    Your Apprenticeship Agreement needs to be signed via APTEM - Sign In - Aptem

  • Training Plan

    When you enrol on your apprenticeships, a bespoke Training Plan will be generated setting out the elements of your apprenticeship. This is best described as a contract, which you will sign along with the university and your apprentice. It outlines the planned content and schedule for training, expectations of the apprenticeship, and how to resolve queries or complaints. It is a requirement of the funding for the apprenticeship that your Training Plan is signed.
