Clair Ayling That's a contentious question, not everyone agrees. The definition of Withdrawal isn't crystal clear, but the definition of a Completion (including fails) is "The learner has completed the learning activities leading to the learning aim". So then the question is, is an exam a Learning Activity? If you look at the 16-18 rules, Planned Hours essentially equals learning activity, and Exams can be counted as Planned Hours, therefore I conclude that exams are learning activity. That makes exam non-attendance a withdrawal rather than a fail. It's not clearly documented though, and I know other people have a different opinion.

Last Evidenced Date of Learning, Exams & Resits

Just trying to clarify what we can use to evidence LEDL for the different funding models.
For 16-19 per the rules "Sitting the examination is assessment of the student’s achievement and will count as learning. " So we can use the exam date up to the latest attempt?
For apprenticeships, exams do not count as off-the-job training so that would lead me to believe we cannot use exams as LEDL?
For AEB "You must report the learning actual end date in the ILR for a learner who leaves learning as the last day that you can evidence they took part in a learning activity.", but I can't find a definitive list of what is considered "learning activity" for this funding model. Does an exam count?
