Now that the funding rules are online and unavailable in a PDF, it is harder to refer back to older versions. Has anybody found a place on the web where the version history of the funding rules for the current year is available? I know the online version has a change history, but this is only a summary and does not show exactly what the changes are.

Ruth Canham-James, in the example you gave, wouldn't the learning aim have funding model 99? I did not think that the "other" line on the website related to FM99 - I thought it related to FM81, and possibly FM82.

Thanks :Steve Hewitt. I've just checked a couple of ours and they have been updated as well. :) I was going to ask you about your comment this morning, when you said that it didn't look like there had been an update: what did you mean? Did you mean that you had seen no news? Or did you mean that all the aims you checked still had an LDNS of 31/7/23?

Hi Henry Wish, Will the website be updated with new LDNSes only on the dates shown in the timetable that Steve Hewitt posted earlier today? (ie Friday 28 April 2023, Thursday 11th May, Thursday 25th May, etc....) Or, could the LDNSes be updated on any date?

Hello Henry Wish, Thanks for your reply. Could you add some further clarification to your answer to question 1, please? Will the LDNS for 23/24 be added to all qualifications at the same time? If you are to do it on a rolling basis, we won't know which aims are really ending on 31/7/23, and which show 31/7/23 just because you have not changed the date yet.

Henry Wish Thanks for your reply. I have a couple of queries. 1) When the website is updated, will you be updating the LDNS for all qualifications at the same time? From what you have written, it looks like it may be a rolling process whereby some quals are updated sooner than others. 2) For each qualification, will you be updating the LDNS for all funding streams at the same time (AEB, ALL, etc..)?

Thanks Ruth Canham-James. Perhaps Henry Wish could confirm this for us (please, Henry)?

Steve Hewitt and Martin West, thank you for your replies. I was looking at this from the point of view of non-regulated learning and wondering what curriculum we would have to include for a legitimate classification under SSA 6.1. Martin West, that document from LIS does help, thank you. I'm not sure who "owns" the SSA classification, perhaps OFQUAL? I'm surprised that there is no published definition of the SSA's, as robust definitions must surely be employed when new qualifications are developed?

Does anybody know of a guide to using the LARS database download? I've been looking through the MDB file and comparing it to the FALA website, but it is really confusing. Take aim 50113811 for example. (OK, I know it is not a L3, so it is a deviation from the title of this thread, but bear with me) On FALA it is fundable for new starts under adult skills up to 31/7/23, and the weighted rate is £941, and it is fundable under local flexibility rules. Where can I find this data in the database? I've looked in the following tables: Core_Lars_Funding, but this does not have it listed under Adult Skills. Are we supposed to use the old "Matrix" classification in this table, which does have the correct weighted rate for adult skills? Core_Lars_Validity, This does have it listed in a category named "Adult_skills" with dates to match FALA Coming back to Level 3 aims and fundability under the NSF. Looking at the two aims that I supplied in my first post, it is complicated to reach the same conclusions from this database that I reached from FALA.

Ruth Canham-James, The date discrepancy in your example is clear and very disappointing. I have not noticed any such discrepancies in the quals that we deliver. Is there any other download available that shows the funding availability dates for each funding stream? I have been looking for such a download that also includes the subject areas - a useful column that is omitted from this download.
