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.
The situation
- Event
- A learner transfers from one course to another in October
- Original aim
- Started in September, attended for five weeks
- New aim
- Starts the week of the transfer
Constructed for teaching. No scenario in the Academy contains real learner data, and none ever will.
How is this 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.
When a withdrawal is recorded changes both the funding earned and whether the aim counts in the achievement rate. Recording a withdrawal late is not a neutral administrative delay.
