Hi Steve, I may have got this completely wrong then and it is the first instance where we have had it so wish me luck! In the funding rules, it also states that the issue is where it replicates learning, conflicts with learning aims or takes place during working hours (i.e contravenes with 20%). If it does none of the above, isn't that ok?

Fab, thanks so much Ruth. I thought as much but it is great to have it clarified.

Thank you so much for your speedy response, that is what we thought. It is further complicated by the fact that the transfer was internal but onto an adult funded qualification.

Thank you, I did see these but these are post the Level 3 T Level. I am looking for the L2 Transition into an Apprenticeship - maybe not a popular route but one we are now encountering nonetheless!

Thanks so much, this is worth bearing in mind. Really, this has shifted the HEY for learners that have a definitive amount of time between Gateway and EPA e.g. Procurement / Accountancy. All learners with a planned end date of training from May will not achieve in that HEY and will all be continuers, potentially increasing the weight of withdrawals against achievers for that HEY. We live and learn! Thanks again, you are always a very appreciated fountain of knowledge!

Thanks so much for your replies. Just to clarify.... Those that have a HEY of 21/22 that do not get an EPA now will achieve in 22/23. Obviously I gain an achievement in 22/23 but as they had a HEY of 21/22 and therefore in my ILR as expected to achieve in 21/22, they are classed as a continuer? Is this correct? Surely this they skews my data as it was expecting an achievement?

Thank you so much for your reply. I am so gutted as it doesn't benefit anyone. Luckily for her, we embed a nationally recognised qualification inside so at least she will walk away with something.

Thank you again, especially for the layman terminology as I completely understand now! Really appreciate your time :-)

Thank you to both of you so much for your reply. It is so reassuring that there is help out there! So to clarify.... Start date: Start date of apprenticeship evidenced by learning Practical start date: Start date of any delivery of knowledge, skills or behaviours Practical end date: End date of any delivery of knowledge, skills or behaviours Actual End date: End of all learning, end of 20% otj hours (how is this evidenced?) Gateway date: Start of the Gateway (has to be on or after actual end date), evidenced with Gateway declaration Achievement Date: Date of Successful EPA, evidenced with EPAO confirmation Is this right?!

Thank you for your reply! I thought that the Gateway date paid the 20% success payment and halted the 20%otj by providing a learning end date? This would then indicate that there is an end date of some description in 19/20 and then a formal EPA end date in 20/21. Can I quote a gateway date from the last academic year without losing success? Sorry, these 'rules' just don't go in sometimes!
