Qualifying period
The minimum period a learner must remain on an aim before funding is generated for it.
In full
Several funding arrangements include a qualifying period: a learner who leaves before completing it generates no funding for the aim, or only a reduced amount.
The length of the period and how it is measured are set out in the funding rules for the stream and year.

scenario
A learner starts three weeks after the class
A late joiner is enrolled with the class start date rather than their own. It looks tidier and it is wrong.
scenario
A learner transfers to a different course in October
A learner decides the course is not right for them and moves to a different one. Two aims have to be handled correctly.
