Hi Henry, Please can you pass on the request that we have the DSATS tool available for use earlier in the academic year. We are nearly at the R04 return point, and so 4 months into the academic year and we don't have the reports available to use with our data, which we are required to check as part of our contract with ESFA. It would be much easier for all providers if we had the reports available earlier to check our data. Thank you, Richard

As Ruth said (we work together), we are challenging this. Posting to add that also the Apprenticeship Rules for 23/24 still state a calculation without rounding: 73.3. Therefore, for a full-time apprentice following a 12 month apprenticeship, off-the-job training is delivered over 46.4 weeks (52 weeks minus 5.6 weeks of statutory leave). This provides, as a minimum, 278 hours of offthe-job training (46.4 weeks x 6 hours). (It’s 276 or 282 if the hours were rounded down or up)

If you run it through the FIS software you might get more information by then going into the logs folder and looking at the log file for today's date.

I got this reply after I finished work on Friday: There seems to be an internal issue with the LearnDelFAMType_102 error in SLD returns – the ILR team are dealing with it now and it should be turned off later today. Please can you do another data file submission, either later today or Monday.

When I get a chance I'll update the Helper Tool to look for the new 'Unique ID' and use that in the first instance if available..

Hi Simon, I'm not aware of a more recent guide either.. I don't think there is one. Richard

I know the DSAT calculations for the similar report 23A-216 - "Actual off-the-job training hours" was wrong when the 22/23 online version was first released. We emailed the ESFA about it. I suppose they could have fixed this and a slight error in 23A-215? Not sure what else it would be if none of the data has changed between years.
