Correcting Start Date in ILR

Yes, errors must be corrected (and nice simple ones like this doubly so!). Make sure all the "paperwork"/evidence ties up though.

Thanks Steve. Can I please how you know this as I wasn't sure? Is there any guidance that explains that this should be corrected?

The Provider Support Manual Data Management Principles:

(specifically, in this case, the last line of number 4!)

Steve,

Whats would your best practice be for qualifications delivered for example in the third year of a apprenticeship. Ideally you want it on the training plan and on the system so it doesn't get missed. Would you put it in with the proposed start date in the future but register the learners now?

thanks

Wayne

Hi Wayne

Mandatory ones, definitely, get them on now. Non-mandatory I probably would anyway, just so I don't forget. Remember, *none of it really matters* in that both for funding and achievement rates, everything but the programme aim itself is completely ignored, so it's for your own benefit really.

Hi Steve,

  Thanks for that, as far as data accuracy would you put the proposed start date for the competency component aim as e.g June 2026 in the future as opposed to matching the start date of the programme. I totally get the funding and achivement rates wont be effected but just was worried about data accuracy and whether it should show in the ILR for the current academic year or be put as a future date which will drop in when the aim is eventually undertaken

Appreciate the advice.

Unless there's something unusual with your student record system that means it doesn't export them, you'll be fine, the ILR will happily take future dated aims. And, yes, if you need to tweak it in the future to match actual, that's not a problem.
