Apprentice with an EHCP

Created

We had an apprentice complete their level 2 standard and pass their level 1 FS.  They now want to do a level 3 standard but are very unlikely to pass their level 2 FS.  I know that apprentices that have an EHCP and the provider receives ALS funding to support them they can complete Entry 3.  My question is, if this apprentice already has level 1 and cannot pass level 2, what can be done as they cannot do Entry 3 if already hold Level 1????

As you've noted, on the face of it you're going to fall foul of the requirement in bold below. However, if you have robust evidence for the other 3, it may be "in the spirit" of the exception to allow the learner to continue, and if you can make a compelling case to the service desk, they might allow it on the basis that it's slightly in the grey area / in the best interests of the apprentice 

P350.3.1 A copy of the authorisation by an appropriate professional, for example the head of special education needs (SEN) or 
student support;

P350.3.2 Evidence of how the apprentice’s learning difficulty or disability affects their English and / or maths abilities; 

P350.3.3 The apprentice’s recommended learning plan to achieve entry level 3 in English and / or maths (as appropriate); and 

P350.3.4 The apprentice’s education, health and care (EHC) plan, statement of special educational need (SEN), or learning difficulty assessment (LDA).
