These Regulations make miscellaneous provision in respect of apprenticeships, and make it a requirement that off-the-job training be provided during the course of an approved English apprenticeship, and that approved English apprenticeship agreements specify the amount of off-the-job training that the apprentice is to receive and last for at least 12 months.
The Regulations also define alternative English apprenticeships (certain arrangements under which the apprentice does not have to work for an employer or for reward) and provides for them, first for the purposes of allowing certain apprentices who were made redundant to complete their apprenticeship training under a new approved English apprenticeship agreement, and second for certain office holders, and allow the Institute for Apprenticeships to charge fees for things done in connection with the carrying out by it of evaluations of apprenticeship assessments.
Lastly, they bring academy school proprietors within the scope of the public sector apprenticeship target regime, and police constables who are members of police forces maintained by local policing bodies in England within the definition of headcount for the purposes of the apprenticeship target regime.
