Pinned
New funding models will be available in the enter learning data (ELD) service from 10 August 2026: growth and skills short course offer apprenticeship units (FM39) and study programmes (FM25) will be joining those funding models already live.
You can now use ELD if you deliver:
apprenticeship standards (both funded FM36 and non-funded FM99)
growth and skills short course offer apprenticeship units (FM39)
care to learn (FM82)
study programmes (FM25)
Recent improvements to the service
Several improvements have been made to help you manage your learner data more easily. You can now:
record learning aims as non-funded (FM99) even when they form part of a funded apprenticeship course (FM36)
migrate individual learners separately, if their data has changed in the previous year
view details of all previous imports, now including counts of learners imported and not imported
ELD has been updated to align with the ILR specification for 26/27, new fields have been added and old fields removed where necessary.
