Hi Jonathan,

My understanding is that if you are delivering a Foundation Learning "offer" with all the components adding up to 336 GLH or .75SLN you then access the entitlement funding. As the FL offer has to be a Vocational/PSD/Functional skills combination if the quals you are offering equate to .75SLN or above then you access [...]

Di,

I hope you are sitting down, you may need a stiff drink once I have explained!!!

If you are using an invalid learning aim then you will need to find an aim similar to the one you are delivering with the same GLH and SLN and you need to enter this aim for all the relevant [...]

Hi Jackie,

You are correct in your assumption that a learner is coded 99 in L28 until they have enough GLH (336 GLH) that then allows you to draw down the entitlement funding, however…….

Which qualifications are you delivering?

We are delivering the NOCN Step Up Diploma at E3 and L1 and these have GLH of 361 and [...]

Thanks Alan/Jackie,

This makes perfect sense, I just wanted to check my understanding.

Hi all,

Another question…..

We are currently offering a Diploma qualification in our Foundation Learning Programme, however we have now decided to also offer a Certificate in the same subject.

Question, if a learner achieves the Certificate and then goes on to the Diploma…..what do we earn??

The Certificate is 150 GLH = 0.33SLN the Diploma is 360 GLH [...]

Below is a list of the qualifications which are not showing on LAD with valid accreditation end dates (currently all showing 31st August 2010).

We need to have valid accreditation dates, without them our first data upload to OLDC will reject every learner currently doing a Functional Skill with City & Guilds (and there are a [...]

Is anyone else getting a bit twitchy about the imminent LR01 upload (deadline 6th December for upload to OLDC). As we still have some of our Foundation Learning Qualifications still not showing correct accreditation dates (expiry was 31st August 2010).

We are being told that we have to ensure that our data upload is 100% accurate [...]

Hi Tony,

Thank you, that makes perfect sense!

Hi all,

Can ANYONE please explain to me the (2 week/6 week) start for funding???

I understand that as my organisation delivers a Foundation Learning programme less that 24 weeks the start for funding is 2 weeks, however do we input ILR's immediately into our MI systems, or do we wait for 2 weeks to input? If [...]

Hi all,

Sorry for the delayed response, I have been sunning myself in Spain for the last 2 weeks.

I will e-mail the ILR to all who have posted messages above.

Regards

Julia

Jackie,

We will still need to use an ILR, however a Learner responsive ILR will not be made available (Go figure!!)

We have used an 09/10 Learner responsive ILR and using the guidance we have amended to reflect the codes required for 2010/11.

I am happy to forward a copy if this would help!
