Question: Can I override a break in learning if the apprentice is working and I want their apprenticeship to continue?

Answer passage (source: UK):

If I need to self-isolate, what will happen to my apprenticeship?
section_content: Apprenticeships have been designed to be responsive to changes in apprentices’
circumstances, for example during a period of illness. If you need to self-
isolate, please talk to your employer and training provider about the best way
to continue with your apprenticeship or report a break in learning.
Options include:

an increase in e-learning
a short pause of less than 4 weeks in your apprenticeship while you are in self- isolation. This will not affect the planned end-date of your apprenticeship
a formal break in learning of 4 weeks or more that your training provider should report to the ESFA. This will result in the planned end-date for your apprenticeship being re-planned upon returning to learning to take into consideration the duration in line with the length of your break
re-scheduling planned assessment activity for a later date

The appropriate steps will be agreed based on your and your employer/ training
provider’s situation.

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:
Has general encouragement to continue apprenticeships, but doesn't address the specific question about whether employers can override the desired break in learning.
This answer mentions apprentices and learning, but doesn't tell whether a break can be overridden or not.

My provider has put my apprentice on a break in learning because they can’t deliver training. As the apprentice is working as normal and I want their apprenticeship to continue, can I override this break in learning?
section_content: We have committed to apprenticeship training providers continuing to be paid
retrospectively for the training that they have delivered and can evidence.
Where training cannot take place for any reason, and this may include the
ability of the provider to continue delivery, an apprentice must be put on a
break in learning to pause payments. Providers are working hard to develop
flexible learning packages to ensure continuity of training where possible and
for some, this may take some time. If you have concerns, we encourage you to
discuss these with the provider.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Doesn't answer the specific question about whether employers can override an apprentice's desire for a break in learning.
