Supervision Ratio

Some apprentices or trainees need more supervision than others. To make sure that all apprentices or trainees are adequately supervised, employers must not exceed the supervision ratios that apply to them.

Each apprenticeship and traineeship has been assessed as either high, medium or low risk for supervision. The ratios are published in the Traineeship and Apprenticeship Pathways (TAP) Schedule below. An employer must not exceed these supervision ratios unless they have applied for and received written approval from the Commission.
