answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2016 answer text <p>Information on whether an apprenticeship has been advertised as part time is not collected centrally. Apprenticeships can be advertised in many ways, including on the GOV.UK website.</p><p> </p><p>Apprenticeships are full-time jobs; therefore an apprentice should work at least 30 hours per week. In exceptional circumstances, such as where the apprentice has caring responsibilities, a minimum of 16 hours per week may be agreed between the apprentice and the employer. In circumstances where the apprentice works fewer than 30 hours per week, the duration of the apprenticeship must be extended in proportion so that the minimum duration requirements are still met.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 28/07/2016 14:23:06 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
