Learning aim class codes

Learning aim class codes are used to record non-regulated provision in the individualised learner record (ILR) 

You should only use non-regulated provision in areas identified and agreed by the ESFA as detailed in the relevant published funding documentation.

The generic learning aim codes are sequential numeric codes prefixed by the letter ‘Z’ and so often referred to as Z codes.
