How many hours work experience should GCSE students complete?
The number of hours worked and the pattern of work is normally a matter for agreement by the employer, school, parents and students. Unless there are strong reasons to the contrary, it is recommended that students should not be asked to work more than a standard eight-hour day. Students should not work for more than five days in any consecutive seven day period. If this is not what you are looking for, or if you want more information, you can contact the Department using the link on the right of this page, or by telephone on 0870 000 2288.
