PDSAT 25A-108 - Learners resuming non-regulated learning aim

Created

None

Good morning all,

with regards to the above PDSAT for non regulated aims, 

Where learners resume a learning aim, there should be an appropriate funding adjustment for prior learning made to ensure that there is no over claim of funding.

i had it in my head that we only needed to worry about the functional skills, and that was the only aim we needed to include an RPL on after a break in learning?
Is that not correct?

Am assuming you mean 25A-508, not 108?

Also just double checking that this is about apprenticeships as you've not stated that? (There are some devolved areas that still have non-apprenticeship aims in that report).

If about apprenticeships, then you are correct about it being FS only,  as this part of the Provider Support Manual applies:

 

Recording new aims when an apprentice returns from an agreed break in learning

.....

Funding adjustment for prior learning

  • Programme aim: Not Returned

  • Component aim: Proportion of the aim still to be delivered (English and maths aims only)

  • If it's not about apprenticeships, then where they are coming back to the same non-reg learning (note I said learning, not aim, as we have the same aim for many completely different courses in the same SSA and the same level) then RPL should apply.
