The average cost to the State of training a FÁS-registered apprentice is estimated at €21,700, in 2004 prices. That covers the cost to FÁS of off-the-job training phases that normally span a three-year period, including the actual cost of such training and an apportionment of overhead costs. The figure of €21,700 does not include costs incurred by the institutes of technology on training for apprentices.
