Thanks for the reply Martin, I did see that funding rule but I believe the job role with the new employer could technically be related to the Customer Service Apprenticeship (as in the role is similar), however she isn't actually employed as an Apprentice...

Thanks for the response Ben, very useful. As you say it's a bit odd how it works, are we supposed to obtain and keep any of the information/confirmation between the non-levy employer and the levy-transfer employer? When I look at their record on DAS it doesn't look any different to anybody else, so wouldn't even know it was funded via levy-transfer if I hadn't been told, but then again what if they haven't actually done it and we should be charging them the 5%?

Has anybody had any problems with this today? My file was uploaded and submitted as normal, but then on the reports page instead of the link to 'download reports' it says 'failed' instead which I've never seen before... Steve

Hi both, Just a quick update, response from the ESFA is: "You are correct that NI numbers are required for learners on active benefits as per the ILR Specification: ILR Specification 2021 to 2022: Field: National Insurance Number (submit-learner-data.service.gov.uk) During the pandemic, when there was a backlog with the issue of NI numbers by HMRC, the error was reduced to a warning. This has now been returned to an error. If there is an error present, the learner will not pass validation and the funding for the learner will not be created by the system." @Kelly from what information I have the learner came from Zimbabwe and has an ARC card stating they claimed asylum so I guess this has something to do with them not currently having an NI number. Hopefully it will come through soon and they already have a job so at least it's not holding them back for that, just sounding like we won't be able to fund through AEB... Steve

Thanks for the quick response Steve, the learner would only be with us for a few weeks so quite likely that the NI number wouldn't be received whilst they are still with us which is why we tend to treat the field as mandatory for these learners and not just our Apprentices...

Hi, Not sure what system you are using but we use Maytas, when a learner has an LLDD there is a code for the 'primary LLDD' but also another section where you have to tick all of the relevant LLDD (including the primary) so it's kind of recorded twice, might be something related to that? Steve

Has everybody had their provisional QAR data uploaded? I was under the impression that the data would be available to download yesterday but when I go to the QAR downloads section where it says 'See your final 2020/21 Qualification Achievement Rates data in a downloadable form' the only ones showing are the in year files for R10, R11 and R12, nothing for R14?
