Description

In this technical workshop Nick Linford will take a detailed look at the key funding and eligibility elements of the SFA’s Adult Education Budget (AEB) rules and rates for 2018/19. Nick will also share a dynamic AEB profiling calculator to support the creation of your own course file, as well as cover AEB performance policies (achievement rates, minimum standards and intervention) and the use of ESFA software. At a time of significant change heading towards devolution of the AEB budget, this workshop will ensure you leave being able to curriculum plan and fund your 2018/19 provision as effectively as possible.

With new and updated material, this workshop is suitable for those new to funding as well as the most experienced. And being a very practical workshop there are lots of worked examples and materials to take away, meaning attendees will leave armed with vital knowledge.

Susan Craggs, Head of Adult and Communty Education at the Mary Ward Centre said: "Really useful information about AEB funding and curriculum planning. Good opportunity to reflect on the funding. Really well timed for curriculum planning. Nick delivers a really good session and manages to make 'dry' material interesting and engaging." Click here for more feedback from previous attendees.
