Once a student starts a School Based Apprenticeship they:

  • Undertake paid employment with a business (usually between 1 and 3 days per week).  At work, they learn skills from their supervisor and co-workers, based on a training plan drawn up between the employer, the Apprentice, the Training Provider and the school;
  • Spend between 2 and 4 days a week at school studying for their NT Certificate of Education;
  • Participate in structured training through a registered training provider to achieve the competencies set out in their training plan. (Depending on the qualification this may include attending off-the-job training).
