Deep breath...
So, where we're talking about withdrawals before the Planned End Date, then the year in which the Planned End Date falls is the Hybrid End Year. If the withdrawal is AFTER the Planned End Date then the Actual End Date determines the HEY.
And, as we know, Planned End Date is *always* (since 2019) the planned practical period end date. Hypothetical EPA dates do not come into play when we're talking about withdrawals.
Thank you so much Steve!
One more quick question (I hope),
Does the QAR data use the practical period end date as the achievement year too? Or is that hybrid as well? So if someones pracitical period end date is 1st July 2025 but they complete their EPA 1st October and pass, is the achievement counted in the QAR for 25/26?
For QAR it goes on the pracitical period end date rather than the expected end date?
thanks!
heh, was hoping you wouldn't ask ;)
For Achievers we use the latest of Planned End Date and AchDate (ie 99.9% of the time, AchDate), ie when they complete their End Point Assessment. If this tips into the following year, as it often does, then that's the Hybrid End Year used.
(of course, *neither* of these apply if, for whatever reason, you don't return the withdrawal or the achievement in the year it occurs, when the submission year is used for HEY)

I am having a moment, and have checked the guidance but for the life of me I can't find my answers. What is actually classed as the end date of an apprenticeship by the DfE for the purpose of the QAR? Is it the planned practical period end date or the estimated apprenticeship end date (so after the 3 months EPA date)?.
Example.
Practical period finishes on 1st July 2025, and this is the planned practical period on the ILR but the actual end date of the full apprenticeship is the 1st October 2025 as they have a 3 months EPA period.
If they withdrew on 2nd July 2025 would they be classed in this years QAR or next years as the end date for full apprenticeship isn't until 1st October? Does the QAR data use the practical period end date of the end of EPA period end (I can't see how it would be the end of the EPA period as this is not noted on any ILR reports I can find?).
Gosh I hope this makes sense.
