Time Off for Study
If you are aged 16 or 17* and have not yet achieved a certain standard (NVQ level 2 or five GCSE’s Grade C or above) you are entitled to paid Time off Work for Study or Training.
This applies to you if you are in employment and NOT in full time education, or are an Apprentice or Trainee.
The course taken must be 'relevant'. This means that it should enhance your career prospects and will normally be a course leading to a vocational qualification related to your field of employment, but this is not always the case.
*If you are 18 you may have a right to complete study or training that you have already begun.
Apprenticeships
Get on-the-job training, study for a nationally recognised qualification such as an NVQ and earn money while you learn. Find out what an Apprenticeship can do for you.
