As I am one of those people who gained a grade a-c 20 years ago, I’m afraid not.

There is clearly a discord in the policy and the rates here. Specifically that some EPAO's determine the price at the start of registration, and others decide the price at the start of the EPA formal start. There are also variances which cause complication for the TNP2 value when it comes to potential discounts or reductions if the EPA takes place face to face or online (eg a £50 reduction if it is online, or a reduction of the overall fee if its a group EPA - eg hairdressing). This is definitely being picked up by audits and sadly being interpreted as a need to readjust both the TNP1 and TNP2 values, but in some cases determining why there has been an increase in the TNP1 value at this point as a result of the reduction of the TNP2! In these situations, where there is no confirmation or rationale, providers have been asked for the value of the TNP1 offset / or reduction to be given back! There appears to be a significant hang up somewhere in the chain that there is some lack of assurance that things might not be above board for financial transactions between a training provider, employer and End point assessment. The end recommendation I did all is that you must always ensure that the values or TNP1 and TNP2 have been agreed and any variations are accounted for in the documentation before the learner is confirmed as going into gateway. A potential to reduce administration for 24/25 perhaps if anyone is looking. Paul.

Hi Melanie, Whilst a fantastic idea, and only I raised with the PLR team some years ago for PICS and other MIS Systems. The issue is how to prove that the data imported into the MIS system has not been amended since. For that reason alone a pdf version of the plr at the time, or a printed version, is usually seen as the only core evidence. That said, I did ask, and believe it should still be considered that the ability to download the PLR via the API route and directly into mis systems as a dated attachment should be provided so that it will make for a more efficient process. Paul.

Chris - I'd speak to Pellcomp to see what it can do for you to support enrolment / teaching. There is a lot more to it than the initial product.

Personally, I like it. Much more easier to use than the previous, and you can see trends. However, this morning, nothing is appearing for me....
