The calculation used for the learning planned end date when returning from a break in learning (BIL)

Introduction

This article explains how Bud calculates the new Learning Planned End Date when a learner returns from a break in learning (BIL). It details the steps and formula used to determine the new end date based on the original planned duration and the break period. 

The calculation used for the new Learning Planned End Date

When returning a learner from a BIL, Bud uses the following calculation.

Bud calculates the amount of days that are remaining of the original planned programme duration when a learner goes on a BIL. On return from a break, this value is added to the new Learning Start Date to calculate the new Learning Planned End Date value as in Example 1:

Example 1: calculation for a learner who takes a break in learning before their original learning planned end date:

Where the original planned duration remaining is zero days at the point of the Break In Learning (I.e. The learner is already past their original planned duration) as in example 2; the new Learning Planned End date will equal the Learning Start Date.

If you wish to change this Planned End Date value you can do so via the "Key Dates" section of learner overview, ensuring that you tick the checkbox to update the ILR.

Example 2: calculation for a learner who takes a break in learning after their original learning planned end date:
