2.5.Provision of the training contract

In Germany​ the training contract between training company and trainee is a special form of a
labour contract​ over the entire period of the training. The trainee is treated as an employee from the
beginning of the training. The company registers the training contract at the responsible chamber together
with the operational company-training plan for the training period.

Important aspects of a ​training contract​ are:
● Aim of the dual training
● That the training will be done on basis of valid training regulations
● That the regulations for working hours are noticed
● Recognition of the industrial safety act
● Payment and amount of the monthly training allowance
● A trial period for employer and trainee / the duration of vacations
● The name of the responsible instructor in the company is mentioned

In the UK​ employers have to create ‘Apprentice Agreements’ Make an apprenticeship agreement. You
must sign an apprenticeship agreement with your apprentice. This gives details of what you agree to do for
the apprentice, including:
● how long you’ll employ them for
● the training you’ll give them
● their working conditions
● the qualifications they are working towards

You can write your own apprentice agreement or ​download an apprenticeship agreement template​.

Commitment statement

You must also sign a commitment statement with your apprentice and the training organisation. It must
include:

● the planned content and schedule for training
● what is expected and offered by the employer, the training organisation and the apprentice
● how to resolve queries or complaints
