If a Learner doesn’t know their ULN
If you invite an applicant to complete their application details themselves, they will be asked to add their ULN. Please note – this is not a mandatory field as the learner may not know what their ULN is or have access to it at this stage. If the ULN field is left blank, a conditional warning will alert you to this, but it will not stop you from progressing.
Missing ULN at enrolment
You can sign up a learner without a ULN, but if a ULN is not added at enrolment it will not appear on the learner’s learning plan or in their ILR. In order to add a ULN after sign-up, you will need to edit the learner’s application documents and enter the ULN here. You will be required to recollect the signatures, however following this workflow will then populate the ULN on the learner’s dashboard, and also pull through to the ILR without having to manually override any fields.
