Student record 2018/19 (C18051): Annual update - Supplementary ILR related outcomes
This document supplements and extends our previous account of updates to the Student Record.
New Fields
Software Supplier Aim Identifier
This field is mandatory and captures a system-generated globally unique identifier for the learning aim. HESA will automatically generate this for providers who use the system to generate an ILR file. This was previously an optional field however is now mandatory for 2018/19.
Campus Identifier
This new field identifies a campus within a college group, which is no longer a separate legal entity but previously operated as an incorporated college with a UKPRN. This should only be returned where a provider has been notified that they can use this field. The ESFA will give providers the identifier to use.
Off-the-job Training Hours
This new field captures the cumulative total of actual off-the-job training hours (as defined in the funding rules) delivered to date, to the individual apprentice, in the academic year by the training provider, sub-contracted training providers and the employer. This field will be optional and should be recorded to the nearest whole hour. The field should be updated monthly.
Agreement Identifier
This new field associates an apprentice to a legal entity within an employer’s apprenticeship account. This field must be recorded for all learners who have an apprenticeship program funded through a contract for services with the employer. This field is returned in the learner employment status entity, with the start date of the apprenticeship programme. If the agreement ID changes through the lifetime of the programme a new status record must be added with the changed agreement ID. For example, if the employer changes. This field should not be confused with the employer’s account ID.
