How to Update your OTJ Log

Whilst on your apprenticeship with Datalaw you will be required to complete an Off-The-Job training log, which is accessible via the Apprenticeship Hub



OTJ is defined as training that takes place outside of the normal day to day working environment which works towards achieving the Apprenticeship Standard. This can include training that is delivered in the Apprentices workplace but must not be part of their normal working duties. Apprentices working full time would normally spend approximately 1 day per week or 7.5 hours working towards the off the job training requirements. The 20% off the job training is calculated over the whole period of the Apprenticeship and so the weekly hours can be varied as long as the overall 20% is achieved prior to programme end.

Apprentices will be expected to keep a log of all learning activities working towards the 20% off the job requirements within OTJ logs and this will be reviewed on a regular basis. Where apprentices are not meeting the 20% off the job requirements a meeting will be held with the Employer, Trainer and Apprentice to discuss how to achieve the minimum requirements of the apprenticeship.

In this video demo below we will show you how to access and your Off-The-Job Training Log and update it:
