Confused about QAR hybrid end years - apprenticeships

Edited

None

Hi 

I am trying to reconcile the 21/22 R10 QAR data with our own internal QAR report. From reading the business rules i understand that the hybrid end year is the later of the planned end date, actual end date and acheivement date. I have a learner who has a PED - 28/12/2022 , AED 07/04/2022. Therefore isn't it the PED date that should be used and therefore a hybrid year of 22/23? The ESFA report gives this learner a hybrid year of 2021.5, I can't find out what this means in the business rules. Can anyone please explain? Can it mean 22/23?

You are correct that it's the later date, so in your example this is the planned end date. If any of the aforementioned dates fall within a future (i.e., not the current) QAR year (as yours does) they're set to 2021.5. 

If the date fell within the 2021-2022 contract year, it would have a value of 2021.

2021.5 basically means "in the future", so you'll see people who started in June don't finish for 24 months will also say 2021.5.

Because the QAR is only officially calculated for the current year, they don't care about the future, so just lump them all together.

The learner you're talking about will, as you rightly point out, be part of your 22/23 cohort.
