Funding

Practices who are non-levy employers can either apply for a full levy (course cost) transfer from a levy paying employer or reserve 95% of funds government co-investment therefore only paying 5% of the total course costs.

  • Advanced Clinical Practice Programme will cost an employer approximately £600 over 3 years under co-investment compared to costing the Training Hub £10,500 if applied for under the modular route.

Legal requirement

To attract government funding a 20% minimum off-the-job training threshold has been set. This is the minimum amount of time that should be spent on occupational off-the-job training during an apprenticeship. This applies to both apprenticeship frameworks and to apprenticeship standards at all levels.

· Direct time spent with supervisors discussing progression, development and growth

· Supervised practice learning new knowledge, skills and behaviours

· Sharing knowledge and effectively demonstrating how to put that knowledge into practice safely

· Delegating learning opportunities to other supervisors and anyone else who may suitably enable learning e.g. shadowing specialists

· Fully follow a patient pathway across settings/departments
