How guides are kept current

Apprenticeship rules change often: the minimum duration, the apprentice minimum wage, off-the-job training and funding have all changed since 2025. Each guide is reviewed when a rule it covers changes and at least every three months, and its “Last reviewed” date is updated only when its content changes.
