This guide is provided by Fareport Training. We are an approved training provider and have offered apprenticeships in a wide range of occupational areas for over 35 years. 

 

As line manager your role is crucial to the success of the apprenticeship. Without line manager support most apprentices will not fully benefit from doing an apprenticeship and in some cases will struggle to complete their programme. You will contribute significantly to your apprentice’s learning experience. 

 

At Fareport Training we realise that this can be daunting for many busy managers, with almost 1 in 2 managers saying they do not feel confident in supporting their apprentices. We are here to help you and ensure that your apprentice gets the maximum benefit from their apprenticeship programme. 

 

 

All learners on an apprenticeship are entitled to time for off the job training, to support their qualification. This is an area that can cause real confusion for employers and learners. What does Off the job training even mean? How will we fit this in around the demands of the role? 

 

Let’s try to explain how it works.
