Timely achievement
Achievement within the expected time for the aim, rather than after an extension.
In full
Timely achievement measures whether learners achieved by the time they were expected to, not merely whether they achieved eventually.
It makes planned end dates and extension recording performance-critical as well as funding-critical.
Where this comes up
diagnostic
The achievement rate is lower than the college expected
The published or modelled achievement rate is lower than the college's own view of how well learners did. The difference is usually in the data rather than in the teaching.
diagnostic
Continuing learners from last academic year who do not appear in this year’s ILR
Your current year’s ILR must include any learning aims which were reported as continuing in the previous year’s final ILR return, even if the actual end date is in the previous funding year. Aims are identified as continuing when the Completion status is code 1. Failure to report timely and accurate withdrawals data in your previous year’s R14 return may have resulted in a funding overclaim. It may also affect your qualification achievement rates (QARs).
diagnostic
Achievement date must only be returned on the programme aim
If returned, the Achievement date must be returned on the programme aim.
scenario
An achievement is recorded before the result is confirmed
