Apprenticeship Agreement Template (Gibraltar)

Updated on 12 August 2026

Gibraltar runs apprenticeships through the Gibraltar Training Centre, a government-funded scheme rather than a standalone statutory apprenticeship-contract framework of the kind found in larger jurisdictions. HMGoG funds the training in full, and apprentices receive a monthly wage throughout, including during placements at host companies — the qualifications on offer are City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 Diplomas in Building Maintenance or Plumbing (around 15 months) and the EAL NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Engineering Operations (nine months), which leads on to the EAL NVQ Level 3 Electrical Engineering pathway.

This template replaces a generic apprenticeship template built around a statutory framework Gibraltar does not have. Because HMGoG funds and administers the scheme, and each apprentice signs an agreement defining what is expected of them, this template records the specific qualification pathway, the placement company and the funded monthly wage as fields, rather than inventing an off-the-job training percentage or an employer-training-levy mechanism that has no equivalent here.

A government-funded training-centre scheme, not a statutory contract framework

Apprenticeships offered by HMGoG are full-time training opportunities that include recognised qualifications while apprentices earn a wage, with the whole programme funded by HMGoG. That funding relationship is the backbone of the arrangement: it is not primarily a contract between a private employer and an apprentice in the way an English or Maltese apprenticeship agreement is, even where a host company provides the workplace element.

Each apprentice signs an agreement that clearly defines what is expected of them, and that agreement extends to conduct and expectations while at placement companies as well as at the Training Centre itself. This template mirrors that scope: it is not solely about classroom attendance, but also sets out what is expected of the apprentice during any company work placement.

The qualification pathways on offer

The Gibraltar Training Centre offers a City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Building Maintenance or in Plumbing, each running for around 15 months, and an EAL NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Engineering Operations, a nine-month programme that leads on to the EAL NVQ Level 3 Electrical Engineering pathway for those who continue.

Because the pathway determines both the duration and what comes next on completion, this template asks for the specific qualification and awarding body rather than a generic "apprenticeship" label, and separately records whether the programme is a standalone qualification or the first stage of a longer pathway such as the Engineering Operations to Electrical Engineering route.
