Type | entity |
Short name | Course |
Description |
A combination of subject and qualification that defines what a student is aiming for. |
Applicable to | England |
Coverage | Compulsory for all returns. |
Notes |
Every instance must be linked to one (and only one) course. Course records can exist without links to any instances if it is easier for a provider to return all courses rather than just those that are active in the reporting year. The Course.COURSEID field is the primary key for the Course entity. It also exists on the Instance as a foreign key. Where provision within the provider's organisation allows multiple possible qualification outcomes, providers must return separate course records for each. Even where groups of students aiming for different qualification outcomes are taught in the same classes, each group must be returned on a different course with a different course aim. Where provision is conducted at multiple locations and students only study at one location or another (not both), separate courses should be returned. This should be based on the campus definition used in Provider Profile and returned where applicable in the DeliveryOrganisationAndLocation entity. |
