It is expected that apprentices following this framework will take on average:
Pathways 1-6 – on average 12 months to complete. This includes 10% of time for off-the-job training. Pathways 1-6 do not have additional knowledge qualifications this is included in the SVQ.
Pathway 7 – on average 36 months to complete. This includes a minimum 20% of time for off-the-job training.
Pathway 7 is longer in duration due to the higher credits, additional knowledge qualifications and time required to develop competence for this more complex pathway. MAs starting on this pathway are required to meet the entry requirements which will provide them with some underpinning knowledge for this pathway.
