Sorry Steve should've been more explicit here They sat the November exam > they withdrew for external reasons > they got the results So they were intially withdrawn on the ILR. Ofc those who got 4+ I would put in and mark as completed and acheived, but its those who got 3 or below, that I'm unsure how to process As always, appreciate your input!

Ruth Canham-James - Much appreciated Ruth. Thats really helpful, and its a shame that there isnt a more updated guidance to state the above. In regards to OFS, can I ask if you could share a guidance link which talks a bit more about what the OFS will need to see from us as a FE College. I personally havent had the chance to review the guidlines for OFS, but I am aware that we are registered with them. Thank you

Steve Hewitt - Right, but the ARC is an application registeration card, to show that they are an asylum claiment while their claim is pending, so they aren't officially an asylum seeker yet. It does have an expiry date, and they are required to complete a new form if this expires. Therefore, my concern is that we can't confirm the validity of their claim with an expired ARC

They hold an expired ARC as an asylum seeker. My understanding would be that because of this, we cant determine the validity of their status to remain in the UK, nor can we as the provider confirm that the "...may be unable to complete their programme if they are likely to leave the country permanently during their study programme or T Level.”

Morning Martin, Thanks for the comment. Just a heads up, this isnt an apprentice, but actually studying a HE qual

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?

Not yet, given the programme is planned for 24 weeks or longer, he will still need to attend 37 days to meet the qualifying period. Which I think answers my own question...
