Where there are any HE level students on an instance linked to this course and funded by SFA/EFA or Welsh Government DfES, (code 3 'The student is an SFA/EFA/Welsh Government DfES funded learner studying at HE level' in Instance.FESTUMK) then Course.COURSEAIM, Course.FEQAIMC, and Course subject must all be completed. Providers in England Providers in England should populate this field with a value obtained from the Learning Aim Reference System (LARS). For providers in England, '66666666' is no longer a valid entry in this field. Providers in Wales Providers in Wales should populate this field with a value obtained from the Qualifications Wales QiW database. Because of the way that Qualifications Wales have allocated the Qualification Numbers, providers in Wales are required to remove slash characters in order for the Qualification Number to be returned in this field. For internally validated courses not funded by the Welsh Government DfES, providers can use the non-specific code of '66666666' to identify these courses in this field. If (after a discussion with Welsh Government DfES) a generic code or '66666666' is used within this field then Welsh Government DfES requires providers to also complete Course subject in order to give detail of the subject area of the qualification. |
