OTJT recalculation if planned end date extended?

You cannot update the planned end date on the ILR once entered and the OTJT hours remain as originally entered.

Short answer: No.

You mustn't change the planned end date unless to correct errors where it's been identified as being significantly incorrect;

Thanks Martin. 

I checked this with ESFA last week and they confirmed that whilst the OTJ should be recalculated and amended on the commitment statement and apprenticeship agreement, the ILR should not be changed.

Thanks both. 

How do audit view this? So for example I have had an apprentice take 3 short (4 weeks break) in a 12 month programme. This has meant that I have had to extend the training programme by 3 months as it just wasn't possible to cram in the training. Therefore evidence against OTJT hours are outside the planned end date. 

Thanks Jessica, that makes sense but see my follow up question.....how do audit view evidence of OTJT hours outside the original planned end date? 

You are correct in adjusting the commitment statement only (not the ILR) to extend the programme due to the time the Apprentice has been on the short breaks, as the OTJT hours are checked at the end of the programme then the OTJT hours should have been achieved irrespective of what the planned end date on the ILR is.
