Can i just bring this thread back to life with a question please? :) If a learner fails all elements of EPA, then does not wish to continue or re-attempt. (This can be for one of 2 reasons). Either they attempted and failed, or they didn't turn up so was recorded as a fail by the EPAO. Will both of these situations allow for a completion status of 2 as a fail grade was officially given by the EPAO? And to clarify, entering this as a completion status 2, with no achievement - 3. ? I can definitely see why pass rates would be somewhat inflated if this would result in a withdrawal instead.

Thanks for this Alice, but we do have it set correctly on our DAS  as a non-levy paying employer. The difference here is the learner was neither a withdrawal or a BIL so a new aim would not typically be created here. I am enquiring as to whether a new aim needs to be created with the TNP 3 and 4, even though they were not a withdrawal or a BIL and how this should be recorded to get rid of this DLOCK issue.

Thanks for your response Martin. Just looking across multiple months, the value of coinvestment payment and contribution payment stays the same across multiple months, this is before and after the employer took on new apprentices. I suspect this is simply an empty pot.  So using this case as an example, are you saying it is taken on a month by month basis? I'm only querying this as i wasn't sure whether contribution payment was no longer required if funds were later available in an employer's account midway through the apprenticeship.

Looking back at this post, if a levy paying employer who ran out of funds during the apprenticeship but then midway through the apprentice's programme suddenly has funds in their levy pot, will these funds then be used again? If so, will previous funds also be requested that they have already paid 5% contributions for that we will then need to pay back, or once they become a co-invester due to insufficient funds, they remain that way for remainder of apprenticeship? Any help would be appreciated. I don't feel the funding rules answer this specific question. Looking at Paragraphs 119 and 142.

Thanks for this. I was of the understanding even if it is a mandatory qual, that a main aim ending would impact funding for other aims. That does help. Thanks

Well it is due to the fact the main aim has ended. Any qualification that we otherwise would have been able to claim funding for, we will no longer be able to as far as im aware. Hence why i suggested the funding adjustment to ensure we dont draw any down. Would your suggestion still be advised here?

Thanks Steve. Yes we will ensure E&M are completed before entering gateway but i just needed clarification we wouldn't miss completion payment if they have gone slightly over planned end date without completing their E&M in time. Thanks again
