The learner is not able to be funded for a level 7 apprenticeship because they are either over 21 or are under 25 and are not an apprentice care leaver or have an EHC plan.
This is wrong and needs correcting. It is not a judgement call.
In plain English
For level 7 apprenticeship standard programmes starting on or after 1 January 2026, then the learner must be 16-21 at the start of the aim or be an apprentice care leaver and be under 25 years old at the start of the aim or have an 'Education health care plan' and be under 25 years old at the start of the aim.
Why it matters
A record that fails this rule may be excluded from funding until the underlying data is corrected.

How to investigate
In your system
These steps are system-neutral: they describe what has to be true in the data, which is the same whatever software your college runs. We do not publish supplier screen paths we have not verified, because menu locations differ by version and by local configuration, and a confidently wrong instruction is worse than none.
System-neutral
- Read the official wording for this record in the source named below.
- Find the affected records in your own data using the fields listed.
- Trace each one back to the source system entry that produced it.
- Correct the cause in the source system rather than the generated file.
Building your own map of where each of these lives in your system is the most useful induction document an MIS team can have. How to build one.
How to fix it
Stop this happening again
Fixing the record clears this case. A control is what stops the next one, so each of these names what to do, who owns it and how often.
