Delivery Method

Skill Eligibility (Prerequisites for skill/software requirements)

The employer and the training provider must ascertain that the apprenticeship will allow the individual to gain substantive new skills. The training therefore needs to be materially different from any prior qualification or previous apprenticeship. NB: this does not restrict progression up the accountancy apprenticeship pathway. 
The apprenticeship must align with the skills needs of the apprentice’s role.
The apprentice must be employed, usually for 30+ hours a week, and work more than 50% of their time in England. 
All apprenticeships must take at least 12 months with apprentices spending a minimum of 6 hours per week in off-the-job training. All Damar apprenticeships plan for more than the legal minimum.
