Are training hours at fixed times?

At AIOH, we know how busy hospitality establishments can get and always take into consideration your needs as an employer.

Students will still need to partake in structured training at our trade school while working under the employer. Therefore, hours of employment need to be agreed on between the school, student and employer.

At AIOH, there are two training options available,
where students will receive formal learning at our training facilities.

Option 1 Monday Day Release

We offer a day release option, where students will receive structured training every Monday from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm.

Option 2  Block Release Training

This option allows the students to receive training for four to five days every couple of months from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm instead of not being able to work every Monday.

What is the minimum number of employment hours for school-based apprentices?

Apprentices are required to work a minimum of 7.5 hours per week.

Is there a probation period for the apprentice?

Yes, there is a probation ranging from 30 to 90 days.

This allows the employer and apprentice to evaluate the training requirements. During this period, either party can choose to withdraw from the contract.

When the probation period ends, all parties are bound by the terms of the training contract. At this point, the training contract can only be suspended, transferred, terminated or varied by the mutual agreement of involved parties.

What would I need to do before my apprentice begins work?

Before the apprenticeship begins, the employer will need to sign a Training Contract and Training Plan, which the student and RTO will also sign in agreement.
