I understand that the person in question's current status on the FAS apprenticeship database is recorded as "unemployed" which indicates that he left his employment, and is currently not eligible to participate in the Redundant Apprentice Placement Scheme. The Redundant Apprentice Placement Scheme provides on-the-job training at Phase 3/5/7 of the apprenticeship programme for redundant apprentices with a FÁS approved employer. The person in question has completed Phase 1-6 inclusive of his apprenticeship training to date, and he is required to obtain employment with a FÁS approved employer to complete Phase 7 and complete the minimum duration in employment as an apprentice to qualify for the Award of the FETAC Level 6 –Advanced Certificate-Craft The person in question should contact his FAS Senior Training Adviser to clarify his current status and to discuss the options available to him.
