I agree with yourself too, Ruth. These years of instance/reporting are pretty complicated, and made even more so by trying to apply this (and the other HE rules) to Level 4 Apprenticeships with zero guidance.

Thank you very much for your guidance, and I shall use what you have suggested for the year of study. I agree, I wish this could be made oh so much simpler!

We do create a new enrolment for each academic year over the duration of the Apprentice programme. From what you're saying, about the HE data being looked at at the end of the year, I should use Year of Study = 2 as half-way through the 20/21 year they reach the next year of instance?

Thank you, Joanne.  The years of instance I do understand, but it is how I would record them that is my issue. So for my 20/21 enrolment, what value would i use for the Study Year - 1 or 2, as the year of instance changes part way through 20/21. My initial reaction is 1 as we are still in the first year  of study upon their 20/21 enrolment.

Martin - Understood, thank you. Just one last thing so I'm clear in my mind about this - If I 'continue' the learner into the following academic year, and then transfer them (per your reply), do I still use the last day of learning from the previous year (i.e 26/06/22) if they don't actual attend a lesson in the new year of the aim they are transferring off of?

Martin - when you say that when there is no corresponding transferred on aim starting within a calendar month, the implications are Inappropriate recording of transfers may lead to a mis-statement of the funding claimed and/or result in enhanced qualification achievement rates, does this apply between academic years when the duration-gap is longer? Would I need to simply keep the original aim's status as 'continuing', and then enrol on the 2nd year aim (in the following academic year), transfer off it, and use the last teaching date (from the previous year, say 26/06/22) as the last day of learning?

Thanks Steve. That will explain why I can't find a definitive definition!

Thank you, Kelly. That is exactly the kind of guidance I was hoping to find.

Thank you Ruth. It does appear that either system works, just need to be consistent, but it appears keeping the original hours funding-calculations (which were submitted in the R04) is the better way to go.
