The apprentice spends at least 20% of their hours in classroom-based training. This means that they will be off-the-job learning occupational skills, such as in a college or university.
The apprentice spends the remaining time on-the-job, learning skills and behaviours that are essential to occupying the role and acquiring vital work experience. This training often occurs with a mentor or part of a broader group to ensure they learn from colleagues with expertise.
