FRM37 – Apprenticeship off-the-job training hours below the minimum
Changes from previous funding year
Previously an internal report. Now also reports programmes where actual off-the-job training hours are below the 20% minimum.
Funding streams reviewed
Apprenticeships from May 2017
Relevant guidance
To be eligible for government funding at least 20% of the apprentice’s normal working hours, over the planned duration of the apprenticeship practical period, must be spent on off-the-job training.
If the apprentice works less than 30 hours per week, they are considered to be part-time, and you must extend the duration.
English and maths training, up to and including level 2, does not count towards the minimum 20% off-the-job training requirement; where required this must be delivered in addition to the minimum requirement.
What you need to do (ILR providers)
Review evidence, correct as necessary.
What we will do (ILR providers)
Request evidence, determine action.
For reference, that info comes from here;
The "guidance" on VYED is still "Monitoring post-16 funding for 2020 to 2021: reports user guide". They should either update that to 21/22 or remove it altogether, or a link to the page above would be ideal.
See guidance @: Apprenticeships: off-the-job training - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Good morning all
I am trying to access information on the above FRM. I have not been able to find any guidance regarding FRM37 and what the data report looks at. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
