FALA vs Approved Qualifications
Created
None
Good afternoon,
Apologies for the long post.
We plan to run two qualifications next year under the FCFJ offer. but there seems to be a discrepancy between FALA and the Approved Qualifications list.
BCS Level 3 Certificate in IT User Skills (ICDL Advanced) (ITQ) 50062438
Free Courses For Jobs - Funding Approval End Date 31/12/2023
FALA Funding
Advanced Learner Loan LDNS: 31/12/2023
FALA Category
45 National Skills Fund Level 3 Free Courses for Jobs rate 1 Effective to 31/12/2600
Should they both not be valid under the National offer? ESFA helpdesk were not very helpful. After a few email exchanges I was told the following regarding the ICDL qualification:
'This qualification does not meet the criteria required to continue in the free course job offer this is why it has not been rolled over within the Agency offer, but still open for devolved usage only.'
What are the criteria required to continue in the FCFJ offer under the National scheme?
