Notes

The Learner HE entity must be returned for learners with learning aims that meet the following criteria and where the collection requirements for the field apply:

For all providers:

• Learning aims that are OfS funded, as indicated in the Learning Delivery Funding and Monitoring fields using code SOF1.

For grant funded provision (FE colleges and other grant funded providers):

• Learning aims that are level 4 or above in the LARS database and are funded by the 16- 19 (excluding Apprenticeships) funding (FundModel 25); Adult skills funding (FundModel 35) - non apprenticeships only; or are not funded by the ESFA (FundModel 99).

• Learning aims that are identified as prescribed HE in the LARS database (using the EnglPrscID field) and are part of a higher apprenticeship programme (ProgType 20-23, 25)*

*HEIs do not need to complete the Learner HE and Learning Delivery HE datasets on the ILR for higher and degree apprenticeships as this data will be included on your HESA return. See the HESA specification for further details.

For contract funded provision (private training providers and all apprenticeships started from 1 May 2017):

• Learning aims that are identified as prescribed HE in the LARS database (using the EnglPrscID field)

For Advanced Learner Loans provision (all grant funded, contract funded and loans only providers):

• Learning aims that are level 4 or above in the LARS database and are funded through an Advanced Learner Loan (FundModel 99 and LearnDelFAM = ADL1)*
  
  *This applies in addition to the requirements for all providers, grant funded and contract funded provision detailed above.

For learners with apprenticeship learning aims that are not prescribed HE, Community Learning and ESF funded learning aims, HE data is not returned.
In addition to the learner HE fields detailed here, you must also complete the Learning Delivery HE fields and HE monitoring data in the Learning Delivery Funding and Monitoring entity.
