Competency-based completion

Completion of an apprenticeship or traineeship determined by a demonstration that the apprentice or trainee has met all the competency requirements of the training agreement or training rather than the time served. This means the length of an apprenticeship or traineeship may vary for individual apprentices and trainees and the end date may be different from the scheduled end date on the training contract.
