Notes
-
A start date must be recorded for all outcome records. Where the learner remains with a provider and continues in education, the start date recorded here should be the same as the Learning aim or Programme aim start date recorded in the Learning Delivery record against the new learning aims (these may have future start dates). For example where a learner completes a study programme and progresses to an apprenticeship, the start date of the progression record will equal that of the apprenticeship learning aim start date.
