To add to Martin's advice.. page 71/72 of the Funding Rules deals with this exact scenario so I'd have a look at that. Essentially, if all parties agree it materially affects the training plan, update documentation but leave ILR alone unless it was a data error.
Whilst that's true Martin, the "early completion" rules (P64 of V5) allow a provider to explain why the volume of OTJ at the end of the app doesn't meet the initial value. In the scenario above, the learner would still have done 20% of their contracted hours, it's just that's less than the initial value.
So, Emily, you don't change the ILR value BUT you can calculate what 20% is across the whole length of the app and work towards that lower number and then get the employer to sign it off as the flow chart below P65 describes.

Reducing off the job hours when working hours are reduced
Created
Hello everyone - should OTJ hours be reduced if a student's working hours are also reduced during their apprenticeship? One of our apprentices has gone from 40 to 33 hours which is a considerable drop. I was going to record the new off the job hours in their Apprenticeship Agreement and the ILR, but wanted to make sure this was correct.
Thank you
