What is in an Apprenticeship Training Plan

Before the start of an apprenticeship programme, the employer, trainee, and training provider all sign a contract known as the apprenticeship training plan. Along with the apprenticeship agreement, it is signed during the apprentice induction period.

The training plan consists of a list of requirements for the learner, the trainer, and the employer, as well as extra programme details. It documents the commitment of all parties to completing the apprenticeship programme.

One of two contracts signed before the apprenticeship begins is the training plan, which was formerly known as an apprenticeship commitment statement. The other is the apprenticeship agreement.

What does an apprenticeship training plan contain?

A commitment statement, which was the previous name for an apprenticeship training plan, provides comprehensive information regarding the scope and length of the programme. It also certifies the learner’s eligibility and the commitment of all parties to the apprenticeship programme.

A detailed description of the programme, including its structure and delivery, is also included in the training plan. The example apprenticeship training plan should include:

• Employer and training provider commitments, as well as what the learner can anticipate
• Dates for the commencement and anticipated conclusion of the apprenticeship programme
• Learner commitments and expectations throughout training and employment
• eligibility verification
• Information about the trainee, employer, training organisation, and end-point assessment body.
• The procedure for resolving questions or grievances
• Schedule for learning, containing information on courses, delivery, and evaluation.

It’s also crucial to keep in mind that the plan for apprenticeship training should be a living document, and any modifications made by the learner, employer, or provider must be agreed upon in writing by all parties.

What is the Apprenticeship Commitment Statement?

The apprenticeship commitment statement was formerly referred to as the apprenticeship training plan. The commitment statement also included information on total programme expenditures, and as part of modifications to the rules governing apprenticeship funding, the wording was revised in the summer of 2022.
