Notes

  • This entity is completed when the learning agreement has been agreed between the learner and provider. The prior attainment relevant to the agreement is recorded in the ILR with the date matching the earliest learning aim start date.

  • Where all learning activities relating to the agreement have been completed and if the learner progresses into further learning with the same provider, a new learning agreement is made and a new prior attainment to reflect that learning agreement is recorded.

  • The prior attainment is not updated during the period of learning where all activities relating to the learning agreement are continuing.

  • The prior attainment is not updated at the end of all learning activities relating to the learner agreement. A new record is only added at the start of any subsequent learning where a new learning agreement has been signed.
