I just got a reply from ESFA this week, this is what they've said which doesn't solve the issue obviously but......: Dear Angela Thank you for your enquiry. We are currently liaising with colleagues in the Home Office to understand some issues providers are having with the updated e-Visa system and will provide an update shortly. In the meantime, we would ask that you request additional paperwork to confirm status and length of residence from any learners whose e-Visa does not provide the necessary information. We would expect in most cases the learner would have correspondence from the Home Office from when their status was issued which should provide more detail than the e-Visa. Where learners need to confirm 3 years residence we would expect they may be able to provide evidence such as utility bills which show them resident in the UK for 3 years.

Thanks Steve, so it's a check of the expired BRP in a sense for all that 'other' information we need around status etc and then an online check to confirm the valid to date is acceptable on the new system. Great.....not. But I get what you're saying it wasn't designed for us/ESFA/MCAs etc, we just 'use' the system. I might flag it to ESFA just to see what they say and how they suggest we work on this but thanks for replying as usual, Angela

That's really helpful Steve Hewitt, I think that's two Steven's with the same opinion as me so I'm pretty happy with that actually, thanks so much

Thanks Steven Edmondson, that's the only signed statement bit I could find too but the Apprenticeship Manager is convinced it has to be signed by employer because of the ESFA template? It's a difficult one to challenge therefore. I do really appreciate your view though and it's the same as mine so...... However, I wondered if one of the Apprenticeship funding experts might be able to see this? Is it Steve Hewitt I'm thinking maybe?

Faith T - we still have seven staff with that same error, ie the FE duration is less than the employment duration.

Matthew Rogers - oh right? We have just submitted today and are getting that error and it's for those who have worked in FE longer than they've been in employment with us? Just seems a bit odd? Thanks though, I've logged it so will see what they say :0)

Matthew Rogers - did you get a resolution to this as I've got the same error? I've logged a query but just wondered what answer you got if any?

Hi I'm a bit late to the party but the AEB funding rules have been updated on 16 November to include and I'm sure you've probably found them now but I just had a panic wondering when they actually applied from as thought it could be April 2023 so I'm very interested where you saw that effective date of 26 September 2022 please if you can send me a link to it? Regards Angela
