Exciting times ahead.... Dear PDSAT User, Deployment commencement We are now starting the deployment process for the PDSAT application for 2025 to 2026 funding year and expect this to last until the end of the day. Please note that the running of PDSAT, including uploads, may be disrupted during this time, we advise you to avoid usage until we confirm deployment has completed. We will send a further update when this is complete or if there is any other information to share. Thanks, KPMG Helpdesk Team

I sent the query to the service desk and they have just pointed me in the direction of the provider support manual; Good morning Chris Planned hours should remain unchanged, as they reflect what was agreed at the start. Please refer to the appropriate guidance for the situation. I’ve added a link below that may assist, though feel free to use any guidance you consider more suitable. Recording learner absence or withdrawal You must determine the intent of learners who are absent from learning, whether the learner expects to return to learning, and the reason for the absence. You are expected to have robust absence monitoring and an absence and withdrawal policy, which you implement to ensure that the progress of all learners is monitored. A learner must be considered to have withdrawn from a programme of learning when they have: Made known a decision to withdraw from the learning, Exceeded the training provider’s absence and withdrawal policy, or Been removed from learning by their training provider. When a learner withdraws, the programme aim (where applicable) and any learning aims should be closed. Recording a withdrawn learner who has no intention to return. Completion status field must be code 3. Learning actual end date is the date of last learning activity for the aim. Use a relevant code for the Withdrawal reason field. Outcome must be code 3. Outcome grade data is not returned. You must include learners in the ILR who have attended one episode of learning. If a learner withdraws within the funding qualifying period, the learner must still be included in the ILR. If a learner withdraws without completing one episode of learning, for example without attending the first class, then they must not be included in the ILR.

All the aim start dates are within 3 days of each other. This is what's thrown me. 129: When a student withdraws from one or more aims within the first 6 weeks of a programme, institutions must remove all of the planned hours for the aim from the total planned hours, unless excluding the hours already delivered within the first 6 weeks would make a material difference to the student’s funding band. In those cases, institutions can include the hours already delivered in the planned hours. PDSATs 26Y-209 identifies the completions, withdrawals or transfers within first 6 weeks (that is planned to take between 2 and 24 weeks and that consists of fewer than 485 planned) and these are reduced to the actual delivered hours. But what about the full time plans? Thanks

Managed to get a FIS batch uploaded and then it wouldn’t actually show any learners to populate a report. Might be worth a try after R06 has closed.

Withdrawing and enrolling at another provider 97. When a student withdraws from the whole of their programme at one provider and enrols at another provider within the same funding year, the first provider will receive funding (as long as the student has completed the programme qualification period), adjusted by the retention factor. The second provider should record the student on a full-time or part-time programme, according to the number of hours that their programme holds for the remainder of the year. Depending on when the student enrols, they may count in the year’s student numbers for the following year’s allocation. They will always be included in the full year’s data to determine funding factors.

Yes we have always done it for learners with a 3 in Language and a 4 in Literature. I guess this is one of those scenarios where we have to do what's right for the learner under the circumstances. Thanks Ryan Wiseman Steve Hewitt Ruth Canham-James for your reassurances.
