If she started the year planning to do the HE qual, I'd withdraw whenever the decision was made to not attempt the actual qual. Then you can have another internal code to represent the activity she's still doing.
Interestingly, for many years, Colleges have been required to include all unfunded delivery in the ILR, but private training providers didn't have to. ESFA are supposed to be taking out that rule, so no providers will have to return unfunded delivery, but they still haven't actually removed it from the Provider Support Manual. If you are registered with OfS, you will still have to return unfunded L4+ delivery though.
If you're not at a college registered with OfS, you don't have to return it anyway. If you're at an OfS registered college, in the case of someone not even doing any regulated delivery, I'd still consider not reporting in the ILR. OfS can audit anything L4+ even if they don't fund it. Their argument is that it's because they "regulate" all L4 activity (but only for some providers?), so if there's no regulated aim, what is there to regulate?
Ruth Canham-James - Much appreciated Ruth. Thats really helpful, and its a shame that there isnt a more updated guidance to state the above. In regards to OFS, can I ask if you could share a guidance link which talks a bit more about what the OFS will need to see from us as a FE College. I personally havent had the chance to review the guidlines for OFS, but I am aware that we are registered with them. Thank you
I'm not aware of any FE specific guidance from OfS beyond the ILR spec and the HESES guidance. I believe that OfS only use our R14, not anything before that, so there are a number of fields I only review at the end of the year (like FTE for non-recognised HE as it's doesn't impact on HESES). There's some stuff about the fee you pay here.

FM99 - Excluding from ILR
Created
Hi all,
I have a full cost learner who is currently on our ILR under FM99. The learner is enjoying the course and would like to continue, but would not like to complete any assignments or receive the qualification. Because she is fee-paying, I'm going by the understanding that we need to report her on our ILR. But in this scenario do you think we are allowed to not report her to the ILR, withdrawing her from exams and possibly put her on a college certificate? Thanks in advance
