Education and Training Reform Act 2006

In determining whether to approve an employer to employ a person under a training contract the Authority must have regard to the employer's ability to comply with the training contract.

Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), the Authority must have regard to all of the following matters—

the premises in which the person is to be employed;

the equipment and methods to be used in training;

whether any person whom the employer uses or proposes to use for the purpose of supervising the training of an apprentice under a training contract—

has the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and skill for that purpose; and

is otherwise a fit and proper person for that purpose;

whether the employer is a fit and proper person for employing an apprentice.

An approval under subsection (1) may be given subject to conditions—

limiting the number of apprentices that the employer may have in the employer's employment at any one time; and

as to any other matters that the Authority thinks fit.

The Authority may revoke an approval at any time and in any circumstances including those where a condition of the approval is breached.
