Hi Andrew Senior unfortunately no, still nothing from the ESFA on how to code these learning aims.

Phil Dawe I also logged a support request and haven't had a full reply, meanwhile we are getting no funding for these learners :-(

Thank you Kuldip. This is dated 2020/21, please can you confirm that it can also be used for 2021/22 learners?

Hi Paul Are there any updates from the ESFA about the shorter version of the privacy notice for 2021/22? We need to finalise our forms and systems soon. Thanks

Thanks Phil that's the same reply we had from the ESFA. They did not answer the validation rule LearnDelFAMType_81 question for us so if / when you get an answer from them it would be great to know their response. Cheers, Karen

Thanks Martin, i still think the ESFA's paragraph 193/194 contradicts the government contributions table because its says fully funded for non regulated.

Thanks for replying Martin, sorry i'm still struggling to understand, para 194 says they will fully fund non regulated learning where assessment has identified the learner cannot undertake provision in para 193 - the provision listed in para 193 are the essential digital skills qualifications. We therefore read that as a learner aged 19 or over who is employed can be fully funded for a non regulated learning aim if our assessment shows they are unable to take an essential digital skills qualification.

Hi Phil Dawe did you get an answer to your question? I logged this exact question with the ESFA and their response was not very helpful so i'm still unclear how to code non regulated provision for learners who have had an assessment and it has identified they are unable to undertake a digital skills qualification. The ESFA said that we should use a category A learning aim class code even though I pointed out to them that this is not flagged as a category 42 digital skills learning aim and will error in the ILR if we record as fully funded. Martin West, I can't see LDM code 324 listed as an exclusion to the fully funded rule LearnDelFAMType_81 in the ILR validation rules. Any help gratefully received. Thanks.
