Thanks for the reply Steve, so even if the learner wants to pay to do a course that would be highly beneficial for them so they can't? I suppose the logic is that one only needs so much education at a time funded or not and it would encourage providers to offer some courses as paid only creating a wealth based inequality for 16-19 learner?

Subcontracted 1619 Apprentice doing full cost course
Created
We have a learner that is a 16-19 year old doing an apprenticeship with another provider who subcontracts to us for some delivery elements. Said learner would like to enrol on a part time evening course with us, can they choose to do so and pay in full? I know they can't be a 1619 learner with us. I'm looking at the funding guidance which states-
a) tuition fees cannot be charged to students aged 16 to 18 in full-time or part-time education by either ESFA-funded institutions or their subcontractors. For the purposes of the funding agreement and this guidance, ‘18’, means under 19 on 31 August in the teaching year when the student commences a study programme
I would suppose they are in part-time ESFA funded education but with someone else, are we allowed to charge for our own delivery?
