The results of a survey of over 1000 apprentices by the IfATE’s apprentice panel has been published, with a series of recommendations. The survey’s goal was to provide apprentices’ views on the quality of the apprenticeship standards and how these are being converted into real-life learning experiences for apprentices across the economy and country. The key findings from the survey were that 85% of respondents had signed a commitment statement, 62% of respondents reported receiving at least 20% off-the-job training, 70% of respondents were satisfied that their off-the-job training was useful in their job and 87% of respondents would recommend their apprenticeship to others who wish to train in that occupation.
