New Apprenticeship Off-the-Job Training (OTJ) Requirements: What Employers Need to Know
Download the guide
From August 2025, apprenticeship delivery in England will enter a new era. The Department for Education is replacing weekly OTJ training calculations with fixed minimum hours – a change designed to bring clarity, fairness, and consistency across every apprenticeship standard.
For employers, this represents an opportunity to simplify planning, reduce administration, and focus on what matters most: helping apprentices thrive while strengthening business performance.
At Tack TMI, we believe apprenticeships should be a powerful catalyst for growth – for individuals, for teams, and for organisations. That’s why we’ve created this guide: to give you clear insights into the changes, highlight the benefits for your people and your business, and support you in planning apprenticeship programmes that deliver lasting impact.
The future of apprenticeships is changing – and preparation starts now. In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to understand the new OTJ training requirements, plan with accuracy, and create programmes that empower your people to reach their full potential.
