Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 15 January 2024 to Question 5499 on Ministry of Defence: Apprentices, what steps his Department takes to monitor where apprenticeships are delivered.

Armed Forces apprenticeships are delivered across most military locations, units and training establishments. Delivery is directly linked to where Armed Forces training takes place, with on-job and consolidation training being conducted across most units, and additional training locations predicated by Service needs. Apprentices are tracked and managed, with monthly data collated centrally for oversight of the entire Armed Forces programme.

Defence records where Civil Service apprentices are based, not the locations at which their apprenticeships are delivered. Civil Service apprenticeships are delivered by different contract-winning providers, through a blend of face-to-face and remote learning methods.
