Student record 2007/08

This field records franchised out arrangements.

All instances at institutions in England where Instance.FESTUMK = 1,3 or 4 and Instance.REDUCEDI = 00

To monitor the nature of franchised out provision and to support planning.

Information about learners who are studying on provision delivered by the provider on behalf of another provider, that is franchised in to the provider, should be supplied in aggregate using an LSC form.

If the learner is studying for this learning aim on provision franchised out for part of the learning aim this should only be recorded in the field where the other provider delivers more than 50% of the guided learning hours for the learning aim.

Code 27 should be used where franchised provision is community based and normally with non-profit making bodies and would therefore be eligible to be funded at the full rate without a discount, as described at b in paragraph 18 of FEFC circular 99/09.

The LSC requests additional information on organisations with which providers have franchising arrangements. This information should be returned to the LSC using the register of franchise and other partners. A sample file can be found on the LSC website and should be sent with each ILR return.

If a student is coded 01 - 80 in this field then Module.TINST must be coded 4001 - 4004.
