CoF Query

Where are you finding that ECF/MCF 5 doesn't exist? It's still in the ILR, and that exemption is still in various parts of the the CoF rules. Is it in the software you're using?

Hi Ruth,

Table 3 in the above:

Also the CoF flowchart, states that they hold a grade 2 AND a pass at L2 FS:

I was looking at this last week (admittedly, it turned out the learner in question had a 3, so it was a moot point anyway...) and was a bit confused too...

In my head it was "no GCSE or a 1 or a 2" would be exempt with FSL2, but the "no GCSE" seems not to be written down...

is "none" as a GCSE grade "below" a 2/E???

Exactly, the page has been updated and this has been ommitted. Nothing of note within the changes section either.

The MCF/ECF 5 is still within the ILR Spec, but I also don't see any validation rules checking back to see if they have a grade entered in the ILR....

I have raised a customer service query....

Don't forget to Report Back! ;)

Table 2 does confirm it's still fine, and the ILR spec still has ECF/MCF 5. Yes, it should be in table 3 too, but you can work it out from other sources. It's always the game we play with ILR and funding rules and piecing bits together.

Slightly wary that there's an AND between FS and GCSE not an OR but maybe I'm just being too Boolean about it...

Hi All,

Confirmation from the helpdesk: (I have asked that they update the guidance page to ensure this is clearer).

Nice one, thanks!
