Minimum Guided Learning Hours

Created

None

Hi, can anyone give me some advice on the use of Minimum Guided Learning Hours.  For example if the minimum was 300 minimum GLH if their programme fell short by 10-20 hours would this still be acceptable or would the 300 have to be met? TIA

Hi Helen

Depends! If you are delivering "national" Adult Skills Fund (Source of Funding 105) then there are currently no requirements to deliver a given number of hours in order to receive the full funding. If you are being funded by a devolved Strategic Authority then some of them do have floors (usually around 70%) below which they will require you to reduce the funding. Contact your SA to find out the detail if that is the case. Finally, *some* Awarding Organisations have minimum hours they will expect you to deliver for *some* qualifications which you wouldn't be able to go below.
