Study Programme: planned hours and timetable

Edited

None

If we presented an auditor with a timetable stating we were delivering 900 hours for a study programme, but we had only recorded, say, 660 hours in the ILR. Would this be an issue?

My assumption is that the ILR must match the timetable and vice versa, but I'm receiving a challenge and would appreciate knowing what others' understanding is.

Thank you

This is a 1 year programme

Max would be 640 hours in a year. You’re right they need to match as it’s one of the tests on an audit.

When you say maximum, does that mean providers cannot deliver more?

Chris Roberts

Sorry meant average, max is 40 hours a week. I think the average works out at 16 hours a week for roughly 40 weeks which is about 640. I think there’s something in the rules that states you can deliver more yes but they don’t expect the average FT learner to have more than 640 planned in year.
