Unlike as for the Trade Apprentices there is fixed period of one year for undergoing apprenticeship training, and no examination is conducted at the end of the training for the Graduate, Graduate Sandwich, Technician, Technician Sandwich, and Technician (Vocational) Apprentices.

50% of the statutory stipend paid per month to the Graduate, Graduate Sandwich, Technician, Technician Sandwich, and Technician (Vocational) Apprentices at the prescribed rate is invariably reimbursed to all the employer on receipt of their claims.
