Skills Bootcamp - Employment Status

So the learner is employed but the employer is not making a financial contribution to the Bootcamp? The funding guidance page 9 reads "Courses are fully funded by Government for independent learners (individuals not being co-funded by their employer), and for the self-employed."

Based on the technical funding rules (section on co-funding) I think you set the aim FFI=1 to prevent a 10% or 30% reduction in the ESFA payment. You might want to check the funding guidance to be sure that no employer contribution is appropriate.

Re posting as this seems to be another comment that isn't being properly saved/recorded.

That actually makes sense, perhaps the ILR looks at the FFI first then the employer indicator - I will try it, thanks.
