Notes Foundation Learning Programmes

Code 19 ‘Foundation Learning Programme’ must be only be used for young people aged 16-18 and learners aged 19-24 with learning difficulties and disabilities (LLDD) funded by the Education Funding Agency (EFA).

Adult learners aged 19+ and funded by the Skills Funding Agency must not use code 19 or record a programme aim. Foundation learning aims for adults are recorded as individual learning aims that are not part of a programme (Instance.AIMTYPE = 4). Code 99 ‘None of the above’ must be used for these learners in this field.

Learners who are undertaking Foundation learning programmes must record the learner's intended destination as agreed at the start of their programme. This is recorded for the programme aim (Instance.AIMTYPE = 1) only in the Instance.LearningDeliveryFAM entity fields using codes LDM 112-115.

Code 10 is only for use by students starting their programme of study prior to 1st August 2011. Codes 11 to 14 are only for use by students starting their programme of study prior to 1st August 2010.

From 2012/13, EFA will be replacing YPLA. More information about EFA replacing YPLA can be found on the Department for Education website.
