16-19 ILR Error - ProgType_01

Created

None

Good morning

We are getting an ILR Validation Error - ProgType_01 - on all of our Funding Model 25 learners. This will be the first time as far as I am aware that Programme Type is required for this Funding Model. When I looked at the ILR Specification the following is all I could see for Program Type for this Funding Model. Does this mean I need to use a T-Level ProgType for our 16-19 (Study Program) learners this year. If so what is the difference between the 2 categories below?

  • T Level programme (FundModel 25, ProgType 31)
  • T Level Foundation Year (FundModel 25, ProgType 30)

Regards
Janet

Right, so, it's only giving you this error because you've got AimType set to 1 or 3. Presuming you're *not* delivering T Levels or T Level Foundation then, for usual FM25 Study Progs, AimType should be 5 for their Core Aim and 4 for everything else.

Thanks Steve.

I agree with what you are saying above. I have spent most of the day trying different combinations of data in the fields. There are only 2 aims - A ZPROG001 and another one which I have flagged as 5 - Core Aim. I have been claiming funding for Study Programs for over 5 years and never had a problem; I wondered whether this was a funding change for 24/25, but apparently not. We have just started using a different MIS system for our Study Program ILR so I am focussing my investigations on that now. If there is anyone out there who uses Bud and does put their Study Program learners through Bud ILR then I would love to talk with them to get some advice. I compared an XML file from last year to a Bud XML and it looks like the ZPROG001 should not be exported at all, just the Core Aim and a "4" as you indicate above. Hopefully Bud Support will get back to me soon.

Hi Janet,

On some MIS systems a ZPROG001 is added as a default when your learning aim value is NULL (blank) against your course code/offering level & as a guess you have this against EEP like your tutorials, enrichments etc?

It sounds like you need to go through and remove the ZPROG001 learning aims from your non apprenticeship, non t level/t level foundation courses which will then clear these errors asking for these additional fields to be populated. When the "error" is you shouldn't be returning this learning aim on the type of study programme you are describing.
