From the CoF rules;
Qualifying periods
Students have to pass a qualifying period for each maths and English qualification before it counts. The qualifying period is:
- 6 weeks for a qualification with a planned length of 24 weeks or more
- 2 weeks for a qualification with a planned length of less than 24 weeks
Students meet the condition of funding when they are studying for a qualification. It is up to institutions to decide when they are ready to take the exam.
Students withdrawing from their study programme
Where a student has enrolled on a maths and/or English qualification that meets the condition of funding but does not complete it, provided they have studied the qualification for the qualifying period, they will still meet the condition of funding. If a student’s core aim was maths and/or English and the student drops out entirely then funding is reduced through the retention factor in the usual way. We have published further information on core aims in programmes in the funding rates and formula guidance.

If students were put on English or Maths at the beginning of their programme as their prior attainment was a GCSE 3, but due to their attendance issues, have been withdrawn in March from the English or Maths how does this impact CoF.
We are within our 5% tolerance even with these learners being withdrawn. They are continuing on their main programme.
Should I be aware of any issues that could arise from this happening?
