Hiya
Kind of depends where you are (every AEB reply seems to start with this at the moment!!!). If you're just national, then yes, if they pay FFI 2, if they don't pay FFI 1. From what I'm hearing (and this isn't comprehensive yet!), a couple of CAs seem to want full AEB rules applied to define FFI 1...

Full or Co-Funding Indicator for Community Learning
Created
The text defining how to set the FFI for Community Learning enrolments in the ILR specification is somewhat ambiguous. It reads:
From the 1st of August 2023 the Full/co funding indicator for Community learning and should be allocated as shown below.
Code 1 should be used if the learner is fully funded and does not pay any fees.
code 2 should be used if the learner is co-funded and, as such, makes a contribution to the cost of the provision by paying a fee.
We have been interpreting this to mean: if, under our fee policy for community learning written to meet the pound plus requirements, a learner is paying a fee for their CL course, set the FFI to co-funded. Where the learner does not pay a fee, set it to fully funded.
I've had this queried by a colleague, who believes we should be attempting to apply the existing funding rules written for FM35 learners to FM10 learners.
I'd be grateful for feedback on how you are applying this change?
