continuing the discussion about PDSAT Report 21B-006, this seems to be a new report as it is not mentioned in the 19/20 PDSAT guidance that is the only one apparently available at this time.   Our English and Maths courses are made from collections of individual units rather than full qualifications due to the nature of our learners. We have been running courses like this for some years (C&G offers the chance to do this, registering  through a 'Generic English Awards' route and individually claiming units as needed).  We have never had a problem with funding for these before but now we have a lot of learners who appear on the report, suggesting that we shouldn't do this. There may be 2 units with the same start and end date on the ILR for example (so apparently 'concurrent'). The teachers cover aspects of 2 different units within the same class, so clearly defined start and end dates wouldn't reflect the truth.
