ESFA are planning to give providers a 6 month extension to their current 19 to 24 traineeship contract to cover potential achievement payments. Providers can earn the achievement payment for an eligible traineeship, within 6 months of completing the traineeship when the learner has a successful outcome recorded on the individualised learner record (ILR). This extension is limited and covers only 19 to 24 traineeship learners who may potentially generate an achievement element into the 2024 to 2025 funding year. We will base this on your data in May 2024, so please ensure that you record any achievements and withdrawals accurately.
