Planned end date
The date the aim was expected to finish when it started.
In full
The planned end date is set from the planned programme at enrolment. It drives the expected duration, the funding profile and, for several streams, the cohort a learner falls into for performance measurement.
It is not updated simply because a learner is running late. Where the plan genuinely changes, the change belongs in the source system with a reason recorded.
The rules behind this
A learning delivery carries both a planned end date and, once the learner finishes or leaves, an actual end date. The planned date describes the intention at the start; the actual date records what happened.
Not to be confused with
The planned end date is the intention recorded at the start. The actual end date records what happened and is only set once the learner completes or leaves.

Changes to actual end date or planned end date after R14 of previous year
The learning planned end date must not change between funding years. You can only amend this date in the first ILR year to correct administrative errors. You must not change this date to reflect slow progress, illness or similar circumstances. If a learning actual end date was recorded for a learning aim in the previous year’s R14 file and the aim continues to be returned in the current year, this date must not be changed. For apprenticeship standards on a programme aim, the learning actual end date must not be changed once the end point assessment (EPA) period has been completed. You must record the date the EPA is completed in the achievement date field, regardless of the outcome.

The aim must have the same Learning Start Date, Learning Planned End Date and Learning Actual End Date
If the aim is Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) (LearningDelivery.LearnAimRef =LARS_LearnAimRef = LARS_ ParentCategoryRef =76) then the Learning Start Date, Learning Planned End Date and the Learning Actual End Date must be the same.
