Actual end date for each aim for withdrawals

Created

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me clarify what the actual end date should be in the ILR for each aim in an apprenticeship programme for a learner who withdraws.

Funding rule P298 - if an apprentice leaves without completing their apprenticeship, the last date of learning, including the apprenticeship programme learning aim, is the date you have evidence the apprentice was still in learning for any learning that was part of their apprenticeship.

Is the correct interpretation of this - the actual end date for all aims that form part of the apprenticeship programme can be the date that corresponds with the last evidence of learning for any of the aims. So the actual end date would be the same for all aims regardless of when the last evidence of learning was for each aim as long as there is evidence of learning towards some element of the apprenticeship programme on that date?

Or should the actual end date be the date of the last evidence of learning for that aim, as stated in the Provider Support Manual - Recording learner absence or withdrawal, so actual end dates would potentially differ for each aim in the apprenticeship programme?

Thanks!

It's what you say in your last para, there can/should be different end dates for each aim, not that it particularly matters EXCEPT for Maths and English because they're funded separately.

Thank you for your quick response Steve!

So there must be evidence of learning towards English and maths on the actual end date for those aims, they cannot just be withdrawn with the same actual end date as the main programme aim?
