  • Actual off-the-job training hours for the individual apprentice at the end of the the practical period of the apprenticeship programme (excluding the end point assessment period) by the training provider, sub-contracted training providers and the employer. The information in the ILR may be subject to compliance checks during the academic year and must therefore be supported by the evidence requirements set out in the funding rules for off the job training.

  • It is important that this field should accurately reflect the total amount of off-the-job training undertaken by the apprentice. Any changes to the values entered in this field during the apprenticeship may be subject to further compliance checks.
