My line on this is it's all about groups of learners, rather than individuals. So if a whole cohort pass by Easter and, therefore the class stops, you'd need to reduce the hours. If one or two learners happen to pass early, the cost for you to deliver to the rest of their classmates doesn't change, so you can leave it.

EFA Learners - Early Completions
Created
Hi
I was wondering if anyone could clarify the following, as per paragraph 126 of the EFA Funding Rules 22/23, which states:
“ When institutions record students as successfully completing their study programme significantly earlier than the planned end date, they must reduce the planned hours as appropriate to the actual period of attendance. For students to qualify for funding, the student should be in attendance for the whole of the planned period of study to ensure all planned hour calculations comply with our guidance on recording planned hours and earn an appropriate amount of funding.”
When talking about significantly early, what is significantly early and would this apply to both Functional Skills learning aims as well as main aim?
