Apprenticeship Service (DAS) - RPL Fields

Created

None

Do the RPL fields on the Apprenticeship Service (DAS) get used for any funding calculations (or anything else?) or are they a 'for information' field? 

We have a couple of apprentices who were originally signed up with RPL but this is wrong and so a new full price (so  no RPL) has been agreed. Whilst we can amend the price on the DAS, we cannot change the RPL data and it is pulling through to the newly amended record. The records are 'live' as they are start in November.

In essence, we now have agreed prices (on the DAS) of the Funding Band Maximum plus the RPL's amount (and weeks)....will this calculate anywhere as being above the Funding Band Maximum)?

Thanks

The ESFA will "expect" a reduction in price if the RPL fields are used. If it was me, I would "stop" and add back on DAS with the correct information.

Thanks, Laura - I will advise the team accordingly.
