The need-to-knows
- Apprenticeships are fully funded – staff do not have to pay for their apprenticeship.
- All NBT staff who are eligible are offered the opportunity to undertake a programme of learning.
- Apprenticeships take place during work time (20% off-the-job) – you will be allocated time away from your duties to complete your studies.
How does the 20% off-the-job training work?
20% off-the-job training is a statutory requirement for apprentices. It is training, which is received by the apprentice, during their normal working hours, for the purpose of achieving the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the apprenticeship.
It is gained by attending study sessions, completing role-play or simulation exercises, undertaking online learning, practical training such as shadowing and mentoring and writing assessments or workbooks.
Apprenticeships help managers and teams in several ways
- Staff develop skills relevant to their organisation.
- Improved productivity and quality.
- Training can be adapted according to the needs of your department.
- Staff are motivated to learn new skills.
- Helps to expand and upskill your workforce.

- Provide support, guidance and feedback.
- Support with mentors and peer guidance.
