My employer is enforcing a work from home policy and my classroom provision has been withdrawn. What are my options?
section_content: If you are unable to attend scheduled learning events, there are several
options available to you:

your training provider may provide digital or distance learning
you can take a short pause if it is likely your apprenticeship can resume in less than 4 weeks and you will still be able to complete your apprenticeship by the planned end-date
you can take a formal break in learning of 4 weeks or more which your training provider should report to the ESFA and will result in the planned end-date of your apprenticeship being re-planned upon returning to learning, to take into consideration the duration of your break

Please talk to your employer and training provider to agree the appropriate
steps for your circumstances.

Why should I continue my learning if I can’t attend my place of work?
section_content: We do not want the disruption caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak to
prevent apprentices continuing to learn where this is still possible. Not
being able to apply the learning straight away might present some challenges,
but there are benefits from carrying on with the apprenticeship during this
time, including continued engagement and progression that can all be applied
to the job once it is safe and practical to do so.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This response does hit on how they don't want apprentices to not learn during COVID if they can't show up physically but doesn't really offer any suggestion for what they can do instead so this is lacking
there is no question that is being answered at hand however it does resolve issues dealing to the virus.
