Firstly, I treat the HE component in apprentices just as I would any HE, completely independent of the fact that it's within an apprenticeship. It's almost an irrelevance that they're an apprentice when I'm working on HE component.
It depends which year they failed. If they failed their final/only year, record as a fail, and re-enrol the HE component with a new start and planned end date. If they're repeating a year that wasn't the final bit, then just leave open and don't change the Expected End Date, they'll just carry on past that at some point. OfS wanted us to fail everyone who had gone past their end date, but I showed them where the ILR Spec said a Completion (so including fails) is where the student has done all the learning activity required to pass the aim. If they haven't even attempted their final year yet, they can't be a fail according to ILR rules. OfS weren't very happy, but agreed I was right. We have an internal way of recording that so we know which ones are going to go past their PED and Exams don't chase the results.
If you do a HESES return, you report them again in either case, as they are studying again, even if they're past their PED.
From the Programme Aim point of view, there's nothing really to be done. If the HE extension is going to take the student past their original programme and date, you'll need to extend the Apprenticeship Agreement, but that's just the paperwork

Degree apprentice - Learner needs to resit a full academic year
Created
Hi,
We've had some apprentices on one of our degree apprenticeship programmes that have failed a year and need to resit the previous academic years worth of teaching. We're unsure how to record this in the ILR and was wondering if anybody had any experience with this and could advise?
Thanks,
Scott
