Apprenticeship Actual End Date for early leavers

Edited

None

Hi, 

Can anyone point me in the direction of the funding rule that says the learner must be in learning on the last day of the month to qualify for funding? (I cant find it anywhere) 

Also, I'm curious to know how other providers record end dates for early leavers, is it the last review date or last day of the month? and if it is the alst day of the month, what are you using as evidence?

The withdrawal date is the last evidence day in learning.

Does this help from the Apprenticeship Technical Funding Guide:

 

45. If the apprentice leaves early, for example, they withdraw from the
programme, the monthly instalments stop. We will not calculate a monthly instalment
for the final month if the apprentice withdraws before the last day of the month in
which the learning stops.

Paragraph 75.

We always record reality for the Actual End Date, as per the ILR spec. If they Complete early, you still get all the money in a balancing payment.

is in the Technical Funding Guide

Apprenticeship technical funding guide - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

44. We spread these instalments equally over the number of planned months for 
the apprenticeship programme aim, based on whether the apprentice is in learning 
on each census date (the last calendar day of every month). The planned number of 
months is calculated from the ‘Learning start date’ and the ‘Learning planned end 
date’ in the ILR

but, as Martin says, last evidenced learning must be what you record as actual end date.

Hi,

Was just looking at this thread. Apologies if this is simplistic but does the last day in learning have to be linked directly to off the job training? Or can it be something that happened in their on the job learning?

Thanks in advance.
