Withdrawal Calculations on the AAF

It’s programme aims rather than learners, on the basis that they can conceivably leave, come back, then leave again. If the calculation looked just at learners as individuals, my example learner would only count once where they should in fact count twice (specific circumstances of the learner in question notwithstanding).

If you go one step back from the accountability framework dashboard and go into the ‘Apprenticeship Learners’ tile, it’ll show you how many programme aims it used for the calculation.

Ben James - thank you so much. I've followed your guidance and the maths now works 😁

Have I missed a document somewhere that would have told me this info? 

That’d be useful, wouldn’t it? But no, not that I can immediately recall. I seem to remember them doing a webinar on the AAF a while back before they published the ‘technical’ specification where I guess they mentioned it?

It’s since just become a ‘truth universally acknowledged’

There's lots that I'd find useful which seems to not exist, sadly. 

You've been really helpful - thank you!

No, there is *not* a published technical specification, something that has been driving me barmy since day one of the AAF! However, in fairly hopeful news, the current person in charge met with the ESFA Technical User Group a few weeks ago and seemed a lot more open and understanding as to why we would want/need one, so fingers crossed...
