See the following from the funding rules:
Q12 If a young person withdraws from just one learning aim in their study programme within the first 6 weeks of their programme during the funding year, does the institution have to change the planned hours?
A12 Yes, the institution must update the planned hours to remove all of the hours for the aim from the total. This rule applies regardless of the original length of the study programme or the funding band of the student. If excluding the hours already delivered within the first 6 weeks would make a material difference to the student’s funding band, institutions can include just the hours that they have already delivered in the planned hours.
Thanks Martin.
The confusion comes from the different qualifying periods, the learner in question is on less than 450 hours and the programme length is less than 24 weeks which would give them a qualifying period of 14 days.
So I don't understand why the learner shows on PDSATs as a withdrawal under 6 weeks.

HI all
Can anyone help with this query please?
We have a learner on a 16-19 study programme that has Employability, maths and English as the aims totaling 336 planned learning hours.
The learner has now withdrawn from the programme;
Employability start date 25-02-2021 actual end date 25-02-2021 - non started due to no attendance
Maths start date 16-11-2020 actual end date 16-11-2020 - non started due to no attendance
English start date 18-11-2020 actual end date 20-01-2021 - 65 days attendance
As it sits the learner qualifies in and we have been paid for them at the full banding rate. My question is though do we have to take away the planned learning hours for the Employability an Math's as we haven't delivered anything?
Thanks
