Thanks Tracy. Do you believe this to be the case for apprentices that started after Aug 2019 so the 'learning planned end date' does not include EPA. For example. Apprentice starts 01 Dec 2019, planned learning end date is 01 Sep 2021 EPA due Dec 2021. Functional Skills aim is from 01 Jan 2021 to 01 Nov 2021. So it is that cross over of planned learning end dates I am worrying about. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks Martin. Yes this is unfortunately a knock on effect we are still feeling from Covid. We continued to deliver our learning just fine but there was a delay in FS starting and ending (sourced externally) resulting in the need for the dates to cross over.
Do you know about my first question :) - when processing a BIL are we supposed to temporarily withdraw FS leaning aims too? Then restart them accordingly. Or do they remain open and then set to completed as and when. Obviously no FS learning will take place whilst on the BIL.

Functional Skills and recording Break in Learning
Created
Hi. Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me please.
When you record a break in learning on your ILR, you set their programme and component aims to 'temporarily withdrawn due to agreed BIL'. Are you also supposed to set their functional skills learning aim to temporarily withdrawn? Would you then be expected to restart that aim like you would with the programme and component aims when the apprentice returns? I can't see this specifically mentioned in the guidance docs.
My second question, is it OK for the functional skills 'learning planned end date' to fall after the programmes 'learning planned end date'? It will be achieved by the time the EPA has been awarded so technically that is the end of the programme.
Thanks, A.
