EDRS Numbers

This identifies the Employer location the learner is employed at, some employers have more than one location, I know of some that have more than 1000 sites.

Thanks, yes we have over 2000 sites.  Previously we have always used 1 EDRS number for all of our sites, however, have recently learned that this is incorrect. 

As we report the learners location on the ILR, I'm just wondering what the need is to do this separately using the EDRS number too is?  Its going to be incredibly time consuming for us to adapt to individual EDRS numbers, and whilst we always want to make sure we're doing things properly, doing something which has little purpose feels frustrating. 

The EDRS identifies the site the learner is employed at, but the delivery (training) location may be different.

The EDRS identifies the site the learner is employed at, but the delivery (training) location may be different.

Now that the Apprenticeship Service identifies the employer, do you think the EDRS numbers will be phased out? 

The AS do not record the site the learner is employed at and the requirement for the EDRS is still included in the ILR specifications for next year.

Thanks for your help Martin.
