20/21 QAR For Standards Apprentices

Created

None

We are trying to pull together a predicted achievement for the 20/21 academic year. One query is around apprentices who are on standards and which hybrid end year their achievement will be recorded in.

If we have an apprentice who goes through gateway on 20th July 2021 who then goes on to sit and pass the EPA on 20th August 2021 which hybrid year will their achievement land in?

We think that it will be the same as 19/20 where that achievement data will hit in the hybrid end year that the EPA is passed so in the scenario above the achievement data would be recorded in 21/22 hybrid end year data.

I have been looking for further guidance on this but can only find information relating to 19/20 so any help would be appreciated.

Hybrid End Year is the latest of AchDate, PlannedEndDate and ActualEndDate, so in your example achievement would be in 21/22

I mean, it's the blind leading the blind until anything is actually published, but can't see them changing the HEY calculation? So, as you say, the learners who do their EPA in August will be 21/22.

That a question but from the last QAR documentation:

12 We have changed the apprenticeship rules to account for the 2019 to 2020 ILR changes for apprenticeship standards. These are the changes to when you record the ‘Learning planned end date’, the ‘Actual end date’ and the ‘Achievement date’ fields in the ILR for apprenticeship standards only. Because of these ILR changes, we are reviewing how we calculate QARs for apprenticeship standards for 2020 to 2021. However, they will be unchanged for 2019 to 2020.

17 The overall QAR, pass rate and retention rate calculations use the hybrid end year of the learning aim. The hybrid end year is the latter of the:

a achievement year (for apprenticeship standards on funding model 36 only)

b planned end year of the learning aim

c actual end year of the learning aim

d reporting year.

Thanks for the responses. I really hope that they do re-visit that methodology.
