-
In each year of training there is a two or three-day off-job training course.
-
Every apprentice is required to attend the off-job training courses specified in their training programme to complete their training.
-
The employer releases the apprentice from work on full pay so that they may attend the off-job training course. This time is not to be taken as annual holidays.
