Yes - I have the same issue affecting 3 apprentices. I raised a ticket on 14/08/2026 and now I'm in the "We are working on your issue and will update you within 10 working days" circus 😄

In reply to Steve Hewitt · View original comment Hi Steve Hewitt - in your example above, should the 25/26 ACT code have a 'Date Applies To' entered (that will match the 25/26 actual end date? Or is it left blank because the completion status is '1'? Thanks

Ha - they did go that deep into our DSATs! But....we had only just started delivering apprenticeships so our very small cohort numbers probably meant they had to go there..... 🙂 Thanks!

Thanks Steve Hewitt - luckily, the planned OtJ hours are way above the published minimum. I think they could easily reduce the OtJ hours for the October starts, but then we will have mixed economies - September starters with one set of planned hours and October starters with another set of planned hours. As both groups will be charged the same amount (full funding band maximum if no RPL) , I *think* this would be questioned by auditors ....or would it? Another colleague has suggested maybe not, as the October incentive means DfE / Auditors will be aware of providers making these types of adjustments.

Thanks Chloe. I guess I'm concerned that we will omit the first September block for the October starters, so in effect, will be omitting this from the planned delivery..... I'll go back to the delivery team to see if they can deliver the missed September sessions elsewhere in the reduced timescale.

Thanks - I hoped it wouldn't be too much of an issue but I get nervous if I don't see it in black & white!

Thanks Steve Hewitt - it is the employment until September part that is confusing me. As he will not start the apprenticeship until September, can he start full time employment between now and then? Does the 'intention to become an apprentice' mean that the full time work from July to September (or possibly even October due to the new Hiring Grant) meets the rules: When young people can start work A young person can start full-time work once they've reached school leaving age. Before school leaving age, the work they can do is restricted and depends on their local authority. Between their school leaving age and 18, a young person in England must do one of the following: full-time education or training, such as school or college work-based learning, such as an apprenticeship working or volunteering (for 20 hours or more a week) while in part-time education or training Currently he does not meet any of the bullet points; only as of September / October will he meet the second bullet point. Thanks
