Part of apprenticeship has education in stages (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phased

'in stages' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'part of apprenticeship has education' is the wordplay.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PHASED' can be found hidden inside 'apprenticeship has education'.

(Other definitions for phased that I've seen before include "Arranged in stages" , "spread over stages" , "Done in stages, shaped accordingly" , "Shaped (anag.)" , "Introduced in stages" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
