Hi Simon, My advice is that you should do it in one operation, export data and then import in, you can then check that a specific ILR from both systems match and you have not lost any learners. HTH

Hi Simon, I do not think the Apprenticeship Service considered the scenario where an Apprentice returned from a BIL and also changed employer, this scenario is also not documented in the Provider Support Manual so it is unknown how this should be recorded on the ILR. I would advise that as they have not returned from a BIL with the (same) employer then it should be recorded in the ILR as a withdrawal and not a BIL (change 6 to 3). As you are unable to record this as a restart on a Framework then the only option is to select a Standard which will be classed as a new start and attract funding up to the CAP but you will have to agree with the new Levy employer the detail for them to revise in DAS. HTH

Hi, I do not know if you can do this for non-levy to levy “If an apprentice you’re training needs to move to a new employer, you should: contact their original employer and ask them to stop the apprentice record speak to the new employer to agree new training dates, price and request permission to move the apprentice to their apprenticeship service account Once you’ve agreed these details, you can change the employer. Non-levy employers will not need apprenticeship funding reserved when taking on an apprentice from another employer.” HTH

Steve is correct you can only use a start date on/after you have reserved funding you will need to change the start date.

Hi Ben, You include the prior learning in the TNP 1, the funding adjustment is not used for Apprenticeship Programme aim but only for ESFA funded Maths and English to adjust funding after a restart. HTH

It is presumptuous for the ILR team to assume that Providers do not know what type of documentation best suits them for their normal business operation or that they do not understand the importance that the latest version should be referenced. The problem with the web search is that it is not as detailed as that available in word of PDF where a search can be made for all occurrences of a word or phrase within a document as well as the ability to identify changes within document versions using compare which may identify (as it has done in the past) undocumented changes and errors. The extent of my personal need has led me to produce from the HTML a complete PDF version of the PSM v1, now I have said that do you think I will get any requests for a copy?

Q1. The current validations rules for 2020/21 are version 2 but this does not include LearnDelFAMType_91 which is reported in R02, it is assumed that an updated version of the validation rules was used at R02, is it acceptable that the validation rules uses for R02 has not been published? Q2. The ILR provider Support manual does not contain any guidance on recording in the ILR EPA assessment resits and updating the ILR for any additional EPA costs that may apply, is it intended to include such guidance in the future? Q3. I have read and researched the legislative requirements that have resulted in HTML replacing the PDF versions of the ILR Specifications and ILR provider Support Manual but in my opinion this does not preclude making a PDF version available in addition to the HTML published on the website, why have you taken the decision not to make available a PDF version to supplement the HTML when the sector has requested this format as it is necessary for reference when preparing ILR data in their normal operation?
