In learning
A learner recorded as currently studying an aim that has not ended.
In full
A learner is in learning while their aim is open: it has started, has no actual end date, and carries a continuing completion status.
A learner who has actually stopped attending but is still recorded as in learning continues to generate funding, which is the single most common source of clawback.

diagnostic
Should this be a break in learning or a withdrawal?
The learner has stopped, and the question is whether to record a break in learning, which pauses the programme on the basis that they will return, or a withdrawal, which ends it. The two have different funding and achievement consequences, so the choice is not administrative.
