(you don't really need it in black and white cos yr ILR will error if you use any other date ;)) Slightly annoyingly, the PSM is ambivalent about it: The Date applies to field should only be completed when either: you need to add a new ACT record with a later Date applies from, or the aim has been closed and the Learning actual end date returned. But it doesn't tell you which date to use (it's definitely the Ach date)

We can always correct errors, so, yes, you can (must!) change it to reflect reality.

Yeah, the dummy code is only valid for 60 days from the start date, twas ever thus.

Hi Linda There's a DAM code (001) to deal with postcodes that exist that aren't in the data yet or are half in, half out of a devolved area (which I guess is possible down in Croydon!), but it should be used very sparingly.

I know you won't have changed the planned end date, so it looks like the report is too dumb to deal with late completers... Definitely wouldn't untick them or it will break the QAR record... I'm not even sure they'll go when they're completed to be honest, but it's the old "I know I've done the right thing, even if FRM doesn't" I think. Might be an idea to tell your Principal before they get the snotty letter about it...

I'm not disagreeing with Ruth! ;) (but, if you got all the contribution up front and the old employer isn't desperate for 20% of the £300 they paid a year ago back...)

Here's the thing, if it's a Levy learner, I doubt the old employer will be too happy about a big old 20% payment coming out of their pot? I mean, by the letter of the rules, you definitely should, even if it's non-levy to non-levy (but I'm now trying to work out exactly which audit test would catch it ;))...

Um, testing or... testing!? I assume you've looked at the Exam Support Service stuff? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/responsibility-for-autumn-gcse-as-and-a-level-exam-series/dfe-exam-support-service-autumn-exam-fees-sites-and-invigilators I suspect your various bits *aren't* covered by it though (and, apparently, it's a pig to claim)...

No, not yet, but can't see it not happening (they're a bit busy trying to work out how 135,000 people are meant to take BTEC exams this week at the moment...)
