These are the auditors notes from PDSATs sampler;
• Check documentation to ensure that work experience processes are being followed (work experience is planned, organised and supervised).
• Traineeship: Check traineeship guidance (work placement between 6 weeks and 5 months in duration).
• Traineeship: Work experience must be the core learning aim, in workplace setting, interview offered at end of placement, etc.
• Here we would check that there is evidence that the student agreed to the placement, the paperwork clearly states what is required (days and times and who to see on arrival) and that there is attendance evidence from the placement provider.
If he has completed the aim then you need to produce a cert and record it like any other aim 2.1 in the ILR. However I don't believe a work placement aim counts towards your QAR.

• Neither paid employment nor paid work experience is eligible to count as fundable non-qualification hours without prior ESFA approval (see test 8i).

Study Programme Work Placements
Edited
Wondered if anyone can advise or point me to the guidance for this please?
The learner had a 2 week (70 hour) work placement in their study programme plan, this was planned in on the ILR.
They have only been able to complete 35 hours.
I am unsure how to record this in the ILR, do I reduce the 70 hours to 35 and amend the dates to mark as completed achieved, or do I mark as a withdrawal not achieved due to not meeting the 70 hours?
We are new to study progs so just wanting to get this right. Thanks!
