Every active StudentCourseSession is linked to a Course.


Courses can be returned without associated StudentCourseSessions if it is easier for a provider to return all Courses rather than just those that are active in the reporting year.


A Course will have a specific qualification aim with associated subject(s) as well as a number of other attributes.


A new Course would be required to be returned where any of the following attributes change:



  • Course.BITTM

  • Course.CLSDCRS

  • Course.FULLYFLEX

  • Course.FUNDLEVEL

  • Course.QUALID (if the Course is associated with a new Qualification, a new Course is required).

  • Course.SANDWICH

  • Course.TTCID


A new Course is also required based on changes to the CourseRole and QualificationSubject entities, please see the entity guidance for more information.
