The PSM guidance is:
Skills Bootcamps are available to all adults aged 19 or over on 31 August of the current teaching year who are full-time or part-time employed, self-employed, unemployed, and live in England
The Full or Co-funding indicator (FFI) must be used to indicate whether the employer is contributing towards funding of a bootcamp.
If the learner is being trained by their existing employer and the employer contributes towards the funding of the bootcamp then all learning aims should be recorded as FFI=2 (co-funded).
If the learner is independent (the learner is unemployed, self-employed or the employer is not contributing towards the cost) then all learning aims should be recorded as FFI=1 (fully funded).
None of the above fit your scenario where the learner is employed in a florist and in the performance and management guidance it states, ‘A Supplier may only deliver a Skills Bootcamp to support adults who have been out of the labour market for longer than 12 months if they judge that a Skills Bootcamp will support them effectively into a job or apprenticeship outcome’.

Bootcamp learners - Employed but claiming Full Funding (FFI1)
Created
Can anyone offer some advice please?
Bootcamp learners being recorded in the ILR.
Where a learner is employed, however the employer is not relevant to the Bootcamp (as an example: learner is employed in a florist, and doing a data Bootcamp), so is classed as an Independent learner, and full funding being claimed (FFI1 in the ILR), how should the ILR be completed for the employment status?
Should the learner be recorded as employed, and all fields completed as per their employment with the florist, but with FFI 1 included? or - does anyone know how else to record these learners in the ILR?
Many thanks
