Restart from BIL and Planned End Date

Created

None

We have only been running our Degree Apprenticeship for around 18 months and I have my first learner that has returned from a BIL that I to return in the ILR.

I believe I know what I need to do with regards to the ILR record,  but I have a question about the planned end date.  I believe I add the number of days that the learner was on a BIL to the original planned end date to give the new planned end date?  However, if the duration of the practical period has since been increased for the programme (the overall duration of the apprenticeship has not changed), can I also add this to the learner's new planned end date? 

Many thanks in advance, Tracy

You should add the number of days that the learner was on a BIL to the original planned end date to give the new planned end date as this maintains the original planned length of programme which in practice should not be changed, however if at initial assessment for the restart it is identified that additional time is required due to the BIL then you can extend the duration.

Sorry to re-open this topic

In the event we have the employers and learners do require a rescheduled duration after BIL. This is due to changes in working patterns and people on site etc due to covid safety implementations. 

These are also learners who have been on BIL for months on end. - So some need to re-do topics because of changes in the workplace and slight job role changes. Do we have to re submit the OTJH? - And if so do we submit the total for the entire programme, or just the remaining time?

e.g. - original programme 12 months - OTJH 450

BIL for 6 months.

remaining programme duration 6 months + 2 months due to changes in workplace. 

new programme duration 8 months = do I calculate the OTJH for 8 months and input that or for 14 months? I assume it's 14 months & I  put the start date from the original start? As with a restart with no amended PED.

Neither you enter the original OTJ hours as originally planned.

You can revise and note the change on the commitment statement but not on the ILR.
