1. RIP Errors

TNP 1 and 2 haven't changed definition, they still represent the total price actually charged, post any reductions. RIP is just showing the amount you reduced it by specifically due to RPL, ignorin...

1. Withdrawal & EHCP

Our Learning Support team tells us this. We compromise and put them on an admin code that doesn't go in the ILR. The student is "enrolled" as in still on our radar, but we follow the DfE rules. It ...

1. Levy Transfer insufficient funds in 26/27

I don't think the main Apps rules say either way. It just says: 248. For employers who either do not pay the levy or have exhausted the levy funds in their apprenticeship service account, then if ...
