| Short name | TRAINEESTARTDATE |
| Description |
This field indicates the start date of the student on their ITT course, where this differs from the official start date of the course collected within Student.ITTSTARTDATE. |
| Applicable to | England |
| Coverage | All students where the Student.ITTSTARTDATE field does not record the date which they commenced on the ITT course |
| Notes |
This field is optional and therefore where Student.ITTSTARTDATE reflects the date the student commenced their ITT courses, there is no requirement to return TRAINEESTARTDATE. The field is to be used for students who do not commence studies on the official start date of the course to gain QTS (captured in Student.ITTSTARTDATE). TRAINEESTARTDATE is to be used when students have started their course to gain QTS late. TRAINEESTARTDATE should be the date the student actually starts the course. |
