ILR and Systems for levy and non-levy apprenticeships 01-08-17 - London

It's all change now for framework and standard apprenticeship starts from 1st May 2017, with new employer and provider systems and data requirements.

This conference will help data and systems (MIS) staff manage the new ILR requirements and related validation and funding reports for apprenticeship starts from May. It will also help ensure that the data in the ILR matches the data in both parts of the new digital Apprenticeship System, for providers and employers, achieving what the ESFA call the double-lock.

Very practical training with lots of materials.

So join Nick Linford, author of the Hands-on Guide to Data and Performance as well as the Complete Guide to Funding Apprenticeships, for this technical and in depth practical workshop.
