Yes, programme aim 1, 8 without the actual end date if they've not had a event, until they reach the 6 month point. Then 2, 3 if still no event.
Yes, that does mean adding an actual end date in a previous year if the 6 months crosses into a new funding year. This will happen for anyone who does not have an event whose latest learning actual end date is in Feb-July.
I wouldn't characterise entering an actual end date that is in a previous year as "not allowed". It's certainly not what we SHOULD be doing for other funding streams, unless there has been a mistake or omission. With other funding streams the actual end date would affect the funding we should have received in a previous year, so that's why we need to ensure things are closed by R14.
My understanding (which is likely not complete yet) is that putting in an actual end date on the Skills Bootcamp programme aim for a previous year won't affect the funding in that previous year at all, so entering it (as per the instructions) will not be an issue.
You are welcome. Bootcamps aren't the most straightforward thing to record and while I've made leaps and bounds in understanding in the last week, I'm still expecting to have got things wrong somewhere. I know others are struggling too.
My apprenticeship experience has both been a help from a date/other funding fields being in alignment point of view and a hinderance. I was so used to recording programmes as 1, 8 WITH an actual end date, that I didn't notice the guidance specified NOT returning an actual end date.

Closing Down Skills Bootcamps
Edited
Hi,
Please could someone help with the following scenario?
If a Bootcamp learner achieves learning but has not got a milestone 2 or 3 yet, their prog aim should have a comp status of 1 and outcome of 8 right? If they then don't receive a milestone within the time frame, we would close them down as a 2:3, completion no achievement?
However, if that 6 month period crosses into a new year, you would be adding an actual end date to a previous year after the hard close, which isn't allowed?
Any clarity would be much appreciated, thanks!
