Good morning all. No updates from service desk since last week, so checked again this morning. The error is still there, and funding is affected by it (despite assurances in the chat above from ESFA that it wouldn't). I've spoken to service desk again, and no update. Does anyone have contact details for the development team or somebody within the Dfe/ESFA I can contact? Thanks in advance

I raised it on 13 Dec with them. Still no resolution. I spoke to them this morning, was put on hold for 20 mins and then they hung up. I'm now waiting again for them to pick up. I did ask if they could make the error a warning until they sort out their end, as I need to do uploads within month for internal MI and finance reasons. Will post any updates here.

Yep, they are AimType 4. My poor choice of wording. That's fine, but Aptem consultant is insisting that we need to create a programme with an aim type 1 to be able to generate the ILR. I'm a bit lost for words. Our quals can still be set up as aim type 4. I'm thinking of setting up programme aim as ZPROG001 (simply because this isn't going to try to draw down funding if it goes through), but then have this programme aim excluded from the export. It's the only solution I can think of but wanted to see if anybody else using Aptem for GLA AEB has a more elegant solution. Gonna take the dogs for a walk while I have a think :)

Hi Steve, we have a bespoke web-based onboarding system and looked at different options to integrate a digital signature system. Based on cost, ease of integration and level of support, we went with Eversign.

Just to add to this. On our attendance registers we put the times but also the qual and units being covered in each half day session. This has been accepted by GLA auditors.

Was going to completely agree with Steve, but my desire to mock him has led me to a screeching U-Turn :)

Hi Andy. I do mine after each upload (and can't see on View Your Education Data, as the ESFA forgot to put our UKPRN on the list!), using the occupancy report. The hybrid end year is the later of the planned end date and actual end date (eg 1. learner planned to end in August, actually ends in July but the later is August, example 2 learner planned to end in July but actually ends in Aug, then their hybrid end date is August). If the hybrid end date is in the 20/21 contract year, then they are potentially in scope for that year's QAR. To only get those in scope, I then remove in learning, any BIL not returned, also remove any who haven't met the qualifying period (so I calculate the planned days on programme and the actual days on programme to do this). I then perform the calculations using the following: The overall QAR is the number of achieved learning aims as a percentage of the total number of learning aims in the cohort that ended. The overall pass rate is the number of achieved learning aims as a percentage of the total number of learning aims that have completed all the planned learning activities. The overall retention rate is the number of learning aims that have completed all of the planned learning activities as a percentage of the total number of learning aims that ended The timely QAR measures the number of aims achieved on or before their planned end date, or no more than 90 days after. (The calcs are done via Power BI so at the click of a button I can get split by age, gender, ethnicity, level, prior attainment, qual, etc) Dave

Same here. Other parts of the website (Management Information, Data Quality Assurance) do show my employer and information. Achievement/performance doesn't pick up provider name or UKPRN. We only do E&T and have had hundreds of learners in scope, but the website is just blank.
