Can I take a break from my apprenticeship?

Sometimes life gets in the way of your learning. If you’re not able to work for a while, then you might be able to take a brief break from your apprenticeship, as long as your boss is on board. But remember, you can’t put your apprenticeship on hold forever. You need to talk to your boss and ITO about why you need a break and make a plan for when you’ll return.

What if I get injured?

If you have an injury that means you can’t work, talk to your boss and training advisor (from your ITO). In general, if you’re not fit for work because of an injury, you’ll be able to pause your apprenticeship until you’re ready to work again.
