Introduction
It is the provider's responsibility to have a curriculum in place that will meet or exceed the required amount of planned OTJH for every learner. If a learner does not meet the Off-the-Job Hours (OTJH) requirement at enrolment, there are two options available to address this. This guide outlines the steps to take to ensure compliance and support learners effectively, helping providers navigate these situations with ease.
Options
- Recommended: If you discover a learner does not have enough OTJH, speak to your curriculum team and request to clone the programme, upcycle with additional OTJH (either by adding to existing activities or creating new ones), and continue with the sign up on the new programme.
- Alternative: Continue with sign up knowing that you will need to do the following:
-
- Add a new training plan (formerly commitment statement) and apprenticeship agreement to show how you plan to meet the planned OTJH
- Amend the ILR to meet the minimum/match the application documents
- Add new activities as the learner progresses through the programme to make up the deficit
