Thanks Phil, Given that he doesnt have an assessment, I was looking to see if he can instead complete a Functional Skills Maths programme (EHC Plan with NO assessment), rather than a GCSE, given his EHC status. But the grade 3 in GCSE throws me off as to whether he should complete a GCSE to meet the COF. I'm specifically looking at 'Table 1'

I think my interpretation of the guidance, as well as your advice, is that given he did not meet his minimum OTJ prior to withdrawal, he would still be expected to meet that, in proportion to the duration and working hours. Therefore we will realistically determine how many hours of OTJ he can complete per week, and calculate his duration accordingly. If we were to only set it to the remaining duration, we would be asking too much of the employer and the apprentice, which would set him up to go passed his planned end date Atleast with this, he could have a realistic timeframe, as well as the choice to complete earlier Thanks again for your efforts on this!

- Yes, when he previously withdrew, he should've been at 15% but was only at 8%, so we do want him to achieve the minimum within this timeframe and catch him up - I'm unsure if there has been an estimation to confirm how much time he will realistically take to complete, so I'm considering using his current remaining OTJ to calculate the duration - No plans to under deliver, but rather make sure we are both setting a realistic duration, as well as meeting the minimum OTJ

As always, nice to see a response from you, Ruth! Our main concern was that if we were to realistically set his PED for the 11months (which he officially has remaining), he will not be able to meet his OTJ. Based on your message, would we then just expect him to go beyond the PED, so he meets the minimum?

Thank you Chris, That is really helpful. My case is a little different as this learner has only attended 5 days in total so far, but there was a conversation with their parent, which can be evidenced. I would also be looking to amend their planned hours, given the lack of attendance. But besides that, my main concern is not allowing them enough time to complete the qualification as well as overclaiming their planned hours

And a final question (hopefully): Some of these withdrawals have achieved a grade 3 or below in the November series. Now they were enrolled to, of course, be achieving grade 4 or above. So would you still be be marking them with the grade they achieved? I would imagine it to be the case, to make sure that their achievement is recorded on their PLR, but just wanted certainty around it to clarify to our Exams team

That's good to know. Have you been through a scenario where you've been asked to evidence attendance in the exam? We do tend to record this, but certainly not as officially as a class register

Steven Edmondson Ruth Canham-James - Thank you both for your incredibly quick response. Steven, using the exam date as the AED would make things alot easier, but I know previously we went by last day of learning rather than exam date, as there isnt any 'real' learning taking place on exam day. Thoughts?

Thanks Steve for your quick response Just to be clear, I am referring to the 'Outcome Grade' field. Not sure if the same rules apply to that, as they would to a 'GCSE maths qualification grade Field'
