Hi Michelle I had a quick look at the funding rules for 22/23 and my interpretation is the learner would need to have the right to work in England as well as an Eligible Residency Status. It would be worth having a look through the funding rules doc at Annex A: Eligibility Criteria on page 136 to 145 to see if she fits into any of them categories. Microsoft Word - 2223 Provider Rules_Version 2_Final_Updated030423 (publishing.service.gov.uk)

Hi Tara Withdrawing the learner from one training provider and then doing the same with a different one to finish off would be fine. The new training provider should do a Skill Scan with the apprentice to show any recognised prior learning and in turn reduce the time and cost of the course so that the learner is only sitting the remainder that they haven't done yet. The only cost to the employer would be the 5% co-investment for the amount after the skill scan unless they are a levy payer.

It's a difficult one with Multiply as the rules change between Local Authorities. The contract we have on Multiply a learner can do more than one course but it couldn't be the same learning aim reference and it has to show benefit to the learner, they had made a big deal about duplication of learners. We are only able to claim for learners who sit the GLH of our course that was agreed with the LA we wouldn't be able to claim any additional learning or be able to move someone as a complete with less than the GLH agreed. But depending on which local authority your contract is with it may have different rules.

Easy fix in the end it turned out one of the Co-investment evidence had not uploaded properly on our system. All sorted now thanks for the help.

The learner is planning on going into the next level after completing their level 2 and we are looking into why the completion hasn't come through for the learner with the ESFA online help desk but its being a slow process so far. We have no data locks for the learner and have recorded the co-investment payments from the employer as they are a non-levy so it has us a bit stumped at the moment. Thanks for the advice both!

That makes sense I thought as much but would rather get a bit clarification for peace of mind as I wasn't sure if anything else needed doing as part of the upload and didn't want to miss anything. Thanks Steve!

Thanks for the help that makes much better sense than the information I was finding online!

I've managed to find the info on what was clawed back and why in the Apps Monthly Payment Report for each learner. I think I had just gone over the same document so many times I couldn't see it for looking. Many thanks for the help!

3 of the learners have completed 9-11 months of their apprenticeships before deciding to withdraw from the course I believe these to be late reporting. I know the EPA cost will have been in the clawback but it doesn't add up to the amount that has been clawed back over the 3 learners and I cant seem to find an amount per learner anywhere.
