Hi,

My understanding is that the funding model will remain the same and each eligible unit will be assigned an SLN number - just as full qualifications are at the moment.

From the LSC:

'Eligible units will be assigned individual SLN values in the AL and ER models.  The SLN value will be based on the level of input required for each unit.  Where possible recommended GLH for units will be used to set this value, with units of similar size being group together; otherwise a view will be taken on the expected delivery input required.  Based on initial experience with the trial in 2008/09, the rates may be reviewed for 2009/10.'

'When a learner chooses to progress from following individual units to a full qualification, the level of funding received for the individual units should be discouned from the level claimed for the full qualification.  The amount discounted would be the funding already received for those units which form part of the full qualification, taking into account the QCF rules of combination.'

I hope that answers your question - although I appreciate it may not.

If you'd like any more detail please let me know - alternatively, you could always offer me a job, haha!

All the best,

Matt

Hello again,

My apologies but without knowing exactly what you're delivering I'm not sure I can be much more help.

My understanding is that so long as you're deliving accredited units/qualifications then funding will be available as per your contract allocation.

Let me know how you get on with this.
