Frequently Asked Questions

What is NAPS?

NAPS is the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme, which supports apprenticeship training subject to the applicable scheme guidelines and eligibility conditions.

Does NAPS registration replace an apprenticeship contract?

No. Employer portal registration and the apprenticeship contract are separate requirements. The prescribed contract process, training and stipend obligations must also be completed.

Is NAPS financial assistance guaranteed for every apprentice?

No. Assistance depends on current scheme conditions, eligible establishments and apprentices, compliant records and the prescribed payment process.

Can regular employees simply be renamed apprentices?

No. A genuine apprenticeship must meet the Apprentices Act and applicable rules, including the contract and structured training requirements. Assess the engagement before treating a person as an apprentice.

Which NAPS records should an employer retain?

Keep registration records, contracts, eligibility documents, training plans, attendance, stipend evidence, assessments and scheme-support records as required by the applicable rules.
