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 planned in apprenticeships from 09/10:
655 660 664 666

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).
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.
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
The Standard Learner Number
SLN GLH for 16-18 and adult responsive funding are in the LAD

Full Time (1 FTE and 1.2222 SLN)
SLNs (divisor)08/09
NBR (loadbands)07/08
Watch out for part time Access to HE and part time onsite NVQs
They will now be unlisted(SLN based on glh in A32)
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)
The LSC will continue to review rates, and will annually change some listed rates and make others unlisted (and visa versa)
Example for 5 AS levels = 1.6667 SLNone learner Entitlement = 0.2533 SLNin one year One key skill = 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
4 Applied AS in 190glh each Listed 180 SLN GLH
1 Key skill in 30glh Listed 36 SLN GLH
4 AS levels in 140glh each Listed 150 SLN GLH
1 Key skill in 36glh Listed 36 SLN GLH
Entitlement Listed 114 SLN GLH
4 AS levels in 140glh each Listed 150 SLN GLH
1 Basic Skill in 90glh Unlisted
Entitlement Listed 114 SLN GLH
Cert in nums in 450glh Unlisted
Cert in literacy in 225glh Unlisted
Taught during the day and all start in Sept ’08 and achieve in July ‘09
4 AS levels in 140glh each Listed 150 SLN GLH
1 Key skill in 30glh Listed 36 SLN GLH
= 1.68 SLN
= 1.4 SLN
= 1.5 SLN
= 1.67 SLN
= 1.75 SLN
How many SLNs for these learners?
When do SLNs count?
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
This is commonly referred to as the definition of a start
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 £2,945
• 16-18 FE £2,860
• Adult Learner Responsive £2,775
Things to note:
• Rates are set based on affordability, not inflation (e.g. 2.1% for 16-18)
• The co-funded rate will fall as fee % increases to 50% by 2010/11
• A reduced co-funded rate is applied for fee payers
• If transitional protection is required a provider rate will be applied
The 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
SLN x NFR now needs to be multiplied by a provider factor
Provider factor (e.g. 1.335) =
Success factor (e.g. 0.846)
Area Cost (e.g. 1.200)
Programme weighting (e.g. 1.217)
Disadvantage (e.g. 1.079)
Short-programme modifier (e.g. 1.001)
x
x
x
x
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
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
With this knowledge, how much funding for this learner?
And this adult learner in a college with 1.411 PF?
1.57 SLN x £2,860 NFR x 1.335 PF = £5,990
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)
ALS claims in excess of £5,500 per learner remain as at present
In the 16-18 model the formula is based on English and Maths pointscores, and in the adult model it is based on the 06/07 level of study

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
Train to Gain assumed fees are 42.5% of total (weighted) fundingwhilst each Apprenticeship element has a fee % listed on the LAD
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
3,600 SLN x £2,775 NFR x 1.411 PF = £14,095,890 fully funded
1,600 SLN x £1,939 NFR x 1.411 PF = £4,377,486 co-funded
= £19,473,376+ £1,000,000 ALSTotal assumed learner

Train to Gain Standard Learner Numbers
All TtG Standard Learner Number (SLN) Values are ‘listed’ on theLearning Aim Database: http://providers.lsc.gov.uk/LAD/
TtG qualificationSLN Value

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
ESOL 0.18
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
The TtG SLN rates are derived from ‘Activity Costs’ research undertaken by the LSC, and for 2008/09 are as follows:
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
The Train to Gain Programme Weightings (PW) are uplifts whichfund 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:
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
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
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%.
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
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
In June 2008 the LSC announced:
SLN x NFR x PW x ACU x TtG uplift = Funding
‘To help stimulate provider engagement with Train to Gain andtheir capacity to deliver the service, we will increase the base fundingrates by an additional 3% in each of the next 3 years, over and abovethe 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.
NVQ 2 in Health (10049873) high rate in Central London
0.429 x £2,775 x 1.25 x 1.20 x 1.03 = £1,839.28

Level 3 learners are fully-funded if they are Level 2 ‘jumpers’ or first full level 3 learners under 25 years of age
All other Level 3 learners (incl. ESOL at every level) are co-funded. This means weighted funding is reduced by 42.5% in 08/09 (rising to 50% by 10/11)
Simply multiply full-funding by 0.575 to calculate co-funding
When do Train to Gain SLNs count?
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
This is commonly referred to as the definition of a start
Train to Gain and Apprenticeship rules now mirror those being used in the learner-responsive models

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.

The targets tend to relate to the Public Service Agreements (PSAs) as listed within the CSR and DCSF/DIUS Grant Letter to the LSC
The priorities and targets
• 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
