Rule A04_A14_A16_AD04_1 will be removed for data migration and 2010/11. It is incorrectly generating errors where the learner starts the programme aged 18 but has turned 19 before starting a subsidiary aim. In this circumstance L28 should be 99 99 and A69 for 2010/11 should be 99.

Apologies for any confusion this has caused.

Hi All

Just to clarify the "official" position regarding LR ILR returns and forms. The Learner Responsive ILR return is still required from providers receiving LR funding for 16-18yr olds and adults. The information authority does not produce a general form to complete for LR ILR returns. FE Colleges and training providers should use their own [...]

Hi julie

Would you send me a copy please. I would also be eternally grateful.

Is this not maybe a Freedom of Information Request? And, if denied, a page long article in the TES about the bureaucratic madness of working in Further Education, which might get picked up by the Mail and Express with a bit of luck and eventually John Hayes just telling the SFA to release the [...]

Hi Moeszylak,

Thanks again for all your help

Hi Cyrus,

Depends on the contract (s) you've been awarded. Priority 1 provision (working with the unemployed) will have a dossier number of 1 on the end, Priority 2 provision (working with employed people) will have a 2 on the end.

It'll be listed in your contract and you can check with your Account Manager at [...]

Indeed – however, we do ask our employers how many employees their are in their group at an early stage in discussions. Better to do it that way round than to have a nasty surprise which needs unexpected nogotiations later. It would be simpler for the SFA to publish the list with names; of course, [...]

I don't have a problem with current employers who we have in our MIS system, as we obviously need their contact details to invoice them. I have downloaded the list into a SQL table and matched against the employers we are currently working with.

Its any new employer who we haven't worked with before that [...]

I agree with Tony and have had this discussion with the powers that be in Coventry. Seems there are problems with printing the names of the employers. It was suggested to me that the list could be downloaded and a lookup be done against our current employers, however this cannot be done in excel as [...]

The long list of large employer EDRS numbers that has been published is all very well, but how do providers ascertain if an employer is a large employer when they first engage with them for training? We can hardly go back to them after we've discovered the LIS is funding at a lower [...]

Hi Cyrus,

It's randomly assigned by the LSC/Skills Funding Agency. It will be detailed in your contract.

Hi Cyrus,

No, there's a different code, all detailed in Appendix E of the ILR spec for 10/11.
