Off-the-job hours
Off-The-Job Hours
Although it’s called ‘off-the-job’ training (OTJT), learners don’t need to spend their own free time completing this programme. Learning new skills and undertaking new role-specific duties can be done through a wide range of activities, all performed during working hours.
A good way for the learner to build up their required hours is by discussing and evidencing any learning and development activities they’ve undertaken that week. They can do this with you and their Development Coach. For more information about off-the-job hours and completing courses, read our handy guide.

End Point Assesment EPA
This programme has a requirement for an End Point Assessment (EPA). Once all the programme’s modules have been covered and all evidence has been submitted, the EPA process will begin to complete the apprenticeship.
The EPA is the final stage of the apprenticeship. It’s conducted by an independent End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) to determine whether the learner has developed the skills, knowledge and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard. To ensure best possible results, tend® Development Coaches will fully prepare your apprentices for their assessment.
