I am having to move critical worker staff into different and/or business critical roles that aren’t related to their apprenticeship. What happens to their apprenticeship if they can’t continue training?
section_content: Apprenticeship training must be linked to the job role that the individual is
undertaking. Where this link is broken temporarily, it is our goal that
apprentices can promptly resume their apprenticeship and continue to
successful completion of EPA at a future date. Funding rules currently state
that a break in learning must be initiated by the apprentice. Employers and
training providers can now temporarily also report and initiate a break in
learning where the interruption to learning is greater than 4 weeks. This
guidance document sets out what employers and training providers need to do
when breaks in learning are more or less than 4 weeks, and if that break
commences during or after March.
*[EPA]: end-point assessment

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answers the question in detail and states that staff can resume their apprenticeships later if they have been moved to other positions.
This seems to answer the question well enough.

Due to business continuity measures, all staff are required to be available at their usual place of work in their usual job role. How can my apprentices continue their learning?
section_content: If your apprentices are required to attend their usual place of work in their
usual job role (critical workers), there are several options available:

apprentices could engage in digital or distance learning at a convenient time within their agreed working hours
they could be offered additional on-site mentor support
they could take a short pause in their learning of less than 4 weeks while still completing by their planned end-date
they could take a formal break in learning of 4 weeks or more and re-calculate the planned end-date upon their return to learning


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answers the question in a clear way.
This gives several different options for apprentices who have to attend their usual job because they are critical workers.

I am having to move critical worker staff into different and/or business critical roles that are connected to their apprenticeship. Can they continue training?
section_content: Where apprentices can remain on their programme, they should continue to
fulfil the minimum 20% off-the-job training entitlement. Off-the-job training
can already be delivered flexibly at a time and way to suit the employer and
apprentice (remote observations, distance learning, etc.) and many providers
have developed additional training material in response to coronavirus
(COVID-19). If a critical worker apprentice has been redeployed into another
role, then some of this activity may still count towards off-the-job training
but this should be discussed and agreed between the employer and provider. All
off-the-job training must be relevant new training that develops the
knowledge, skills and behaviours of the apprenticeship and, where funding is
being accessed, it must be delivered by an organisation on the Register of
Apprenticeship Training Providers. Evidence of delivery must be kept.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answers the question in an ok way.
This answers the question in detail explaining what can count towards an apprenticeship if they have been moved. It does not really discuss the situation of someone who cannot continue the apprenticeship, though.
