Apprentice - has Lv 1 maths / English, needs to sit Assessments for Lv 2

Presuming you're just talking about the Functional Skills aim it doesn't matter whether you put them as completed or withdrawn as long as the end date matches their last engagement because the ILR record is, in this unique instance, only there to generate funding, not to produce achievement rates.

Myself, I'd put them as withdrawn if they've got nowhere near sitting but that's preference, not a rule.

Thanks Steve Hewitt - I agree that withdrawal is the most appropriate so will do this.

Thank You

Steve Hewitt, in such circumstances, would this still generate the completion payments, due to the fact the learner has completed their EPA?

The reason I ask is that we have a learner (16-18) that has completed his EPA, but keeps failing his maths L2. I have tried to seek clarity from DfE helpdesk, but they are still 'working on it', as the Funding rules don't seem that clear tbh.

The EPA plan for that qual for the level 2 just states that they must have 'achieved English and mathematics qualifications in line with the apprenticeship funding rules', and funding rules for 23-24 seem to suggest that they need to achieve at level 2, but in para 42, also states, about where for Level 2 standards that do not require a Level 2 FS for the apprenticeship etc. as the EPA plan is rather vague on this point we're not sure where we stand, but surely if the apprentice has to have their level 2 iaw funding rules, then should the EPAO have accepted an attempt in the first place?

We're reluctant to submit the ILR data until we get confirmation on this point as we don't want to fall foul of missing out on the completion payments.

Presuming this is a Level 2 Standard then the learner, regardless of age, does not need to have passed L2 FS to complete and achieve the Standard so you can process without it being a problem (despite all the fiddling about with the Rules, this has "always" been the case).

Steve Hewitt, thanks for that response. I remember years ago that for whichever level you were at, the FS could be at the level below, but I felt that I needed to query it as the funding rules seemed to contradict this somewhat.
