Return from a Withdrawal

Created

None

We have a learner who was withdrawn as left her employment. After 8 weeks, she found a new job and wants to return. Would this be a new episode, linked to the old episode, or do we add a new aim on the old episode? 

Many thanks

Depending on the MI system and the guidance below from the PSM it would be a new episode.

Recording restarts (without an agreed break in learning)

The following guidance applies in scenarios such as where a learner has withdrawn from their learning for a reason other than an agreed break in learning or transfer, and subsequently returns to learning on the same aim(s).

When the learner withdraws, their learning aims must be closed with the relevant code in the Withdrawal reason field. Refer to guidance for recording leaner absence or withdrawal.

If the learner later returns to learning, the new aims must be created. Refer to guidance below for recording new aims when a learner restarts..

The original learning aims must not be re-opened.

Hi Martin,

 

Following on from this, we have a learner who withdrew from the apprenticeship, he now wants to re start with the same employer. Do we use the same TNP as the original TNP? And is the OTJ the remaining OTJ or the overall OTJ? Thanks

Martin West

The training price would reflect the negotiated price for the remaining delivery as agreed with the employer and not the original TNP 1 although the TNP2 may remain as originally agreed.

The ILR specifications for the OTJ hours states: this field collects the Planned off-the-job training hours (as defined in the funding rules) that will be delivered to the individual apprentice over the full apprenticeship.
