Apprenticeship learner self-enrolment
We have added a new Introduction page to the learner’s self-enrolment. This will be the first page in the process and will explain to learners what is involved in their self-enrolment, what details they will need to have prepared, and have a link to the ESFA’s privacy notice.
We believe this will help to drive learner engagement with the enrolment process.
ILR Specification
In-line with version 4 of the 24/25 ILR specification, we have made the following changes:
- Added a new option to the existing dropdown list in Learner Delivery > Learner Delivery HE Information > Qualification on Entry (QUALENT):
- "P55 T Levels"
- Added a new option to the existing dropdown list in Learner Delivery > Learner Delivery HE Information > Major Source of Tuition (MSTUFEE):

- Append text "Valid until 31/07/24" to existing value in dropdown list in Learner Delivery > Learner Delivery HE Information > Major Source of Tuition (MSTUFEE):
- 2 = English or Welsh LEA award
Gateway Review - new Employer questions
We have added two new questions into the Gateway Review for an Employer, these will only be available in new Gateway Reviews. This gives Employers the ability to provide confirmation they are happy with the number of OTJ hours delivered, where the Learner hasn't met the original planned hours.
- The new question will be a yes / no, with the wording: "Has the Learner met the original planned off-the-job hours?"
- If they answer no, the following yes / no question will be asked:
- "As the Employer, I confirm I'm happy with the number of hours delivered to this Learner. "
Bug Fixes
- We have a fixed a bug where some employer contacts were encountering an access denied/forbidden page when attempting to view their learner's learning plans.
Data Warehouse - release on 24 July @ 14:30
This release, we have added two new tables to the Data Warehouse.
Presentation.[Activity Feedback] has the details of learner feedback on activities with the date, rating and comments given.
Presentation.[Application Qualification] has the learner qualifications entered during enrolment. This includes qualifications copied from LRS searches and attached to the application as well as qualifications entered manually by the learner or trainer.
We've also added [Current EPA Status] to Presentation.[Learning Plan]. This will show if a learner is doing a resit or retake, based on the latest entry in the Presentation.[EPA History].

QAR Report
A couple of improvements are being made to the QAR Report:
- SSAs, levels & Standard names will be derived from the Standard Code using our new IfATE integration, filling a few gaps and inconsistencies.
- File upload and QAR generation times now respect British Summer Time, instead of GMT all year.
