Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for apprentices, employers, training providers, end-point assessment organisations (EPAOs) and external quality assurance providers about changes to apprenticeships due to coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: Apprenticeship training frequently asked questions
My employer is enforcing a work from home policy and my classroom provision has been withdrawn.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.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information on options that are available for apprentices to continue their learning if they're required to be available at their usual place of work, and this answer provides information on what options are available if an apprentice is unable to attend scheduled learning events due to personal circumstances.
This information is for those who are not able to attend learning events, and therefore could apply to someone who is working a job, but does not specify this.

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 does not answer the question. It does not provide any information on options for apprentices to continue learning when they are required to be available at their workplace. Instead, the answer is explaining about the benefit of carrying on with apprenticeship during Covid-19 and applying the learning to the job at a later time once it is safe and practical to do so.
This information is for apprentices who are not able to continue working, and does not touch on those still working.
