ILR Learning Aim Dataset
Note: This page is from an older version of the Data Dictionary and may therefore contain information that is now out of date. It is included here for reference only.
1 This dataset is part of the ILR Collection.
2 There is one learning aim entry for each learning aim that a learner is studying. A learning aim entry contains learning aim related information such as start date, end date, fee information and outcome. The information in a learning aim entry relates specifically to the learner entry that owns the learning aim entry. For example
where a learner is studying three GCE A levels; there would be three learning aim data sets
where a learner is studying on an Advanced Apprenticeship programme comprising an NVQ, three key skills and a technical certificate; there would be five learning aims
3 For WBL - the aim within a learning programme that generates the majority of the funding is defined as the main aim. As such there can be only one main aim within each programme. The main aim will determine the achievement payments and is identified in the ILR using code 40 in the LSC funding stream, field A10. Further information on the definition of a main aim is provided in the description of this field.
4 For WBL - where the learning programme is composed of more than one learning aim, all other aims within the programme are defined as subsidiary learning aims. This includes learning aims for technical certificates and key skills that form part of an Apprenticeship or Advanced Apprenticeship programme; and learning aims for qualifications delivered as part of an E2E programme.
5 For WBL - for Apprenticeship and Advanced Apprenticeship programmes, a separate learning aim record for the framework is not required. Framework achievement is recorded against the main aim. The start date, planned end date, actual end date, completion and outcome fields on the main aim relate to the main aim rather than the framework. The descriptions of these fields have further information.
6 The table below shows the fields from the Individualised Learner Record (ILR). These are defined in the ILR Specification. The hyperlink will take you to the ILR page where you can view the specification for the relevant teaching year.
