Hi Jessicar,
It is immaterial what dates you use as the remaining funding will be split between 80/20% between monthly payments and the completion payment, I would assume you would use a planned end date that reflects when the EPA will be started but as you will then enter the actual end date then no payments will be made until the completion status and achievement date are entered.

Thanks thinking of almost doing it as a correction to completion status after hard close (BIL initially reported in 1920), using same start and end dates as were reported on the BIL and amending the completion status in 2021. The start/ expected end and actual end would all reflect the date of EPA activities, which is what they aren't supposed to represent.

Breaks in Learning after Planned End Dates (Covid)
Created
Sure this was discussed a while back on the old forum, but the search function on that it terrible...
In the delivering apprenticeship sin Covid guidance it was said that:
41) Gateways are being delayed and the EPA cannot be completed in the required time frame. Can the EPA timeframe be extended due to the current disruption?
Apprentices who are deemed ready for assessment and cannot be assessed due to assessor illness or coronavirus related measures are allowed to take a break before taking their EPA and for the EPA to be rescheduled.
If the EPA timeframe needs to be extended beyond what is allowed in the assessment plan (where specified), EPAOs are responsible for agreeing extensions to EPA timeframes during the current disruption. EPAOs should work closely with EQA providers to ensure that quality of EPA is maintained. For apprentices whose gateway is being delayed, the training provider must report this as a break in learning in the ILR.
So we did that, but now the apprentice is back and ready o take their EPA how do we record that? What would we use as the Start/Planned End Date as there is no learning to be done?
