The only aims that can be delivered at level 4 or level 5 are those that the provider has had explicit written permission from the WMCA. Please ensure that you are aware of this, as the provider may not be funded for aims that are not pre-approved.
Within this approval process, providers will be told the amount of funding they will get for that aim depending on what has been agreed. The WMCA will state whether this is 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of an aim value. Other than 100%, the amount agreed will need to go in the ‘OtherFundAdj’ field in the ILR.
There is no limitation to whether you wish to enrol an employed or unemployed Student to a level 4 or level 5 learning aim. However, this will be agreed upon as part of WMCA’s business case application and upon written approval from WMCA.
If the provider is delivering learning or training at level 4 or level 5 that does not currently have a LARS code with an applicable Adult Skills funding rate, then the provider will need to contact WMCA. The WMCA will work with the ESFA to ask for a new LARS code to be generated and made available for use.
