On-job/Off-job
Your training
Apprentice training involves a mix of practical, hands-on learning and formal, academic study [including exams].
Practical learning
The practical learning takes place 'on-the-job' as you carry out everyday tasks in the workplace alongside your qualified workmates.
Each day, you keep a record of your work, in a diary or on job sheets. When you feel competent in the tasks outlined in the Workplace Logbook, you need to approach your workplace assessor to assess you.
Your skills and knowledge are assessed against 'unit standards', which describe the skills and knowledge you need in order to achieve the qualification. Each unit standard has a credit value and once you're assessed as being competent in a particular unit standard, you gain credits.
