CONTEXT AND SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
The context - 14-19 funding (DCSF)
Legislation planned to enable:
• LSC funding role given to Local Authority (Lewisham Council)
• Compulsion to stay in education or continue training until 18
But policies to encourage participation being put in place now:
• Phased introduction of new Diplomas from 08/09
• September Guarantee and entitlement to an Apprenticeship
• Expansion of Young, Pre, and Programme-led Apprenticeships
Most 16-18 growth planned in apprenticeships from 09/10:

Oh, and three census dates replaced by minimum attendance
The Standard Learner Number
SLNs are a new volume measure, replacing loadbanded and
listed unweighted National Base Rates (NBRs).
If they are listed the SLN value can be found within the Learning
Aims Database (LAD). This may be expressed as an SLN GLH value.
If SLN is not listed in the LAD then the SLN = glh (A32) divided by 450
For example:
A full time NVQ in Beauty has an unweighted listed National Base Rate
of £3,052 in 07/08. This is 520 SLN glh or 1.1556 SLN (listed) in 08/09
A full time Cert in Literacy in 450glh has an unweighted
loadbanded NBR of £2,641 in 07/08. This would become 1 SLN
(unlisted) in 08/09. If 460 glh it would become 1.0222 SLN.
The Standard Learner Number
SLN GLH for 16-18 and adult responsive funding are in the LAD

Guided Learning Hours
Listed SLNs, the cap and rate changes
Like now, where the QCA have recommended and/or LSC have
identified a common duration for a course, a fixed rate is set in the LAD
SLN values per enrolment are added together, but cannot
exceed the 1.75 SLN per year cap (incl. entitlement if appropriate)
Example for
one learner
in one year
5 AS levels
Entitlement
One key skill
= 1.6667 SLN
= 0.2533 SLN
= 0.08 SLN
= 2 SLN
But this exceeds 1.75 per year cap, so this learner SLN is in fact 1.75
The SLN or SLN GLH value is actually allocated to a year based on
number of days between start and actual end date
The LSC will continue to review rates, and will annually change
some listed rates and make others unlisted (and visa versa)
How many SLNs for these learners?
Taught during the day and all start in Sept ’08 and achieve in July ‘09

When do SLNs count?
This is commonly referred to as the definition of a start
The three funding census dates have been scrapped
Instead there are minimum attendance measures, based on duration
Duration
Minimum attendance
24 weeks or more
6 weeks
2 to 24 weeks
2 weeks
Less than 2 weeks
Once
If an enrolment meets the minimum attendance criteria the SLN
value assigned in the given academic year will be counted
Resits and transfers do not generate an SLN value
The National Funding Rate per SLN
The LSC set fully-funded £ per SLN each year, and in 08/09 they are:
• School Sixth Forms
• 16-18 FE
• Adult Learner Responsive
£2,945
£2,860
£2,775
Things to note:
• If transitional protection is required a provider rate will be applied
• Rates are set based on affordability, not inflation (e.g. 2.1% for 16-18)
• A reduced co-funded rate is applied for fee payers
• The co-funded rate will fall as fee % increases to 50% by 2010/11
The Provider Factor
SLN x NFR now needs to be multiplied by a provider factor
The provider factor is calculated annually in advance for allocations
(based on 8 Feb ILR F05 for FE and ILR W13 for WBL/TtG)
Each funding model has its own provider factor
Provider factor (e.g. 1.335) =
Area Cost (e.g. 1.200)
x
Disadvantage (e.g. 1.079)
x
Programme weighting (e.g. 1.217)
x
Short-programme modifier (e.g. 1.001)
x
Success factor (e.g. 0.846)
The Provider Factor
Providers can see ‘indicative’ Provider Factors for each model in PaMS
1.335 Provider factor (example for 16-18 provider)
The funding earned!
So a 16-18 year old enrolment in a college might earn:
1.75 SLN x £2,860 NFR x 1.335 PF = £6,681.68
With this knowledge, how much funding for this learner?
Full time onsite NVQ (540glh)
Listed 520 SLN GLH
Key skills in Nums (40glh)
Listed 36 SLN GLH
Key skills in Comms (45glh)
Listed 36 SLN GLH
Entitlement
Listed 114 SLN GLH
1.57 SLN x £2,860 NFR x 1.335 PF = £5,990
And this adult learner in a college with 1.411 PF?
Non-accredited creative writing in 90glh
Unlisted
0.2 SLN x £2,775 NFR x 1.411 PF = £783
Additional Learning Support
The demand-led funding formula does of course also include ALS
SLN x NFR x PF
+ ALS = Funding
ALS will be allocated as now, in advance and at provider level.
However, in 2008/09 60% of the allocation will be driven by a formula
and the remaining 40% will be negotiated (75/25 in 09/10)
In the 16-18 model the formula is based on English and Maths point
scores, and in the adult model it is based on the 06/07 level of study
ALS claims in excess of £5,500 per learner remain as at present
Adult fee element and the co-funded rate
Adult learner responsive fee element is now nearly double 04/05 level

Plan is for fee element of 47.5% in 09/10 and 50% in 10/11
ALR co-funded rate = NFR – (NFR x Fee Element / PF)
Use of the formula at allocation level
Can you work out what this adult-responsive allocation would be?
• 5,000 learners of which 2,000 are fee paying
• Average SLN per fee paying (co-funded) learner is 0.8
• Average SLN per non-fee paying (fully-funded) learner is 1.2
• Co-funded NFR is £1,939 = £2775 - (£2,775 x 42.5% / 1.411)
• Fully-funded NFR is £2,775
• Adult responsive Provider Factor is 1.411
• £1m for Additional Learning Support
1,600 SLN x £1,939 NFR x 1.411 PF = £4,377,486 co-funded
3,600 SLN x £2,775 NFR x 1.411 PF = £14,095,890 fully funded
Total assumed learner
fees at 42.5%?

Train to Gain Standard Learner Numbers
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
All TtG Standard Learner Number (SLN) Values are ‘listed’ on the
Learning Aim Database: http://providers.lsc.gov.uk/LAD/
The TtG SLN rates are derived from ‘Activity Costs’ research
undertaken by the LSC, and for 2008/09 are as follows:
TtG qualification
SLN Value
Higher
Lower
Full Level 2 (e.g. NVQ)
0.429
0.286
Full Level 3 (e.g. NVQ)
0.644
0.429
Numeracy and Literacy
0.18

To claim the higher rate the
provider must deliver ‘a
minimum of 15 hours of eligible
support/learning/training
consisting of underpinning
knowledge and understanding.’

Train to Gain Programme Weightings
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
The Train to Gain Programme Weightings (PW) are uplifts which
fund additional costs associated with the vocational sector.
The PWs are listed for each learning aim on the LAD.
There are three Train to Gain PWs:
TtG PWs Sector Subject Areas (SSAs)
1.00 (A)
IT Users, Retail, Commercial Enterprise, Hospitality,
Leisure, Travel, Tourism, Business, Administration and Law
1.25 (J)
Health, Public Services, Care, Agriculture, Horticulture,
Animal Care, IT Practitioners, Hair and Beauty
1.50 (K)
Engineering, Manufacturing Technologies, Construction,
Planning and Built Environment, Transportation, Literacy,
Numeracy and ESOL
e.g. 0.429 SLN x £2,775 NFR x 1.25 PW = £1,488.09
Train to Gain Area-costs uplift
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
The area-costs uplift (ACU) is in essence a London weighting and rises
to a 20% increase for 15 of the most central London boroughs (with the
remaining boroughs receiving a 12% uplift). However, other areas in the
South East also receive uplifts from 12% to 1%.
For both Train to Gain and Apprenticeships the ACU is no longer
determined by the provider location. In 2008/09 it will be determined by
the delivery location – that is, employer premises.
e.g. 0.429 SLN x £2,775 NFR x 1.25 PW x 1.20 ACU = £1,785.71
Train to Gain Uplift
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
In June 2008 the LSC announced:
‘To help stimulate provider engagement with Train to Gain and
their capacity to deliver the service, we will increase the base funding
rates by an additional 3% in each of the next 3 years, over and above
the previously planned 1.5% per annum increase in rates’
This is applied as an addition uplift within the formula:
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
e.g.
0.429 x £2,775 x 1.25 x 1.20 x 1.03 = £1,839.28
e.g.
NVQ 2 in Health (10049873) high rate in Central London

Train to Gain monthly instalments
Monthly instalments paid, with last day of the month as census (trigger)
Funding claim sent 4th working day, instalment paid 10th working day
First two months paid in first instalment using an ‘n+1’ approach
e.g. £600 over 5 months would lead to £200 installment in first month
and £100 installments per month for the remaining four months
But, 25% is held back for achievement

Train to Gain – additional flexibilities
In July 2008 the LSC published details regarding ‘additional flexibilities’
• New high rate threshold (15 hours)
• 3% uplift year on year
• Skills for Life eligible at any level
• Colleges doing NVQ 1s to be fully funded at Level 2 rates
• Up to 30% ‘additional’ (non-first) full level 2s permitted
• All Level 2s (incl. non-first) to be fully funded
• Up to 20% ‘additional’ (non-first) full level 3s permitted
• Level 3 Entitlement to apply to Train to Gain
• Colleges with Level 4 and 5 NVQs can negotiate to continue them
In October 2008 DIUS announced further flexibilities for
‘bite-sized’ learning, but don’t expect details until January.

Apprenticeship monthly instalments
Monthly instalments paid, with last day of the month as census (trigger)
Funding claim sent 4th working day, instalment paid 10th working day
First two months paid in first instalment using an ‘n+1’ approach
e.g. £600 over 5 months would lead to £200 installment in first month
and £100 installments per month for the remaining four months
But, 25% is held back for achievement (only applied to NVQ and
Framework SLN, and only paid when full framework is achieved)
Funding claim made with TtG data as part of a single monthly
ER Individualised Learner Record (ILR) data collection
ILR uploaded online to the LSC Online Data Collections System

Closing remarks
The priorities and targets
The targets tend to relate to the Public Service Agreements (PSAs)
as listed within the CSR and DCSF/DIUS Grant Letter to the LSC
• Numeracy from Entry 3 (SfL)
• Literacy (including ESOL) now from Level 1 (SfL)
• Full Level 2
• Full Level 3
• Level 4 added
To achieve targets there must be a switch from non-priority
provision. This has been termed ‘developmental learning’
(previously ‘other’ or ‘residual’), with planned falls from £508m
in 2008/09 to £116m in 2010/11 (excluding FLT)
Funding optimisation revisited
1. Check and monitor the learning aims
2. Set appropriate course durations
3. Recruit and retain sufficient group sizes
4. Maintain high success rates
5. Regularly check the validity of the data
“it is expected that providers will fully comply
with the
spirit and intention of the funding principles”.

The hands-on guide to post-16 funding
I’ve written this as a reference tool, which
should be useful (and even interesting!)
for senior managers and governors to
curriculum and data/MIS staff
