Following on from the Foundation Learning seminars delivered at the ALP Forum for Employment and Skills Conference, we have invited senior YPLA colleagues to deliver five workshops during August and September which will provide the opportunity to ensure you understand how the funding will work for FL.

These events will include an update on the latest thinking on where FL is going, a re-cap on the main aspects of the funding methodology and how it is replacing the current E2E system of weekly funding.  There will be detailed examples and an opportunity to clear up many questions asked at the conference and any others you still have at this stage.  

We highly recommend at least one member of staff attends these sessions to ensure you are fully aware of the new flexibilities being introduced from AUGUST 1st.

YPLA: A Guide to Funding Foundation Learning

The latest YPLA guidance notes will assist all training providers to understand how FL will be funded within the context of the YPLA’s Demand-led funding methodology.

YPLA: Funding Foundation Learning Worked Examples

These examples apply the YPLA Demand-led funding (DLF) mechanism and the principles of funding Foundation Learning to example programmes.

Both documents will be used as part of the discussions and will be referenced to for all ten half day YPLA Foundation Learning events.
