LSC FUNDING APPROVAL FOR CoPE - 31 October 2005

LSC funding approval for the ASDAN Certificate of Personal effectiveness (CoPE) appears in the document �School Sixth Form Funding Guidance 2007/08�. The reference to ASDAN appears on page 39. Funding approval also appears in the separate document � Funding Guidance for Further Education for 2007/08�. See also the Learning Aims Database (LAD) for the FE sector funding rates at www.providers.lsc.gov.uk/lad

Although the funding rates for CoPE as between Sixth Forms and FE colleges are currently different, we understand that the Schools Sixth Form funding rate is to be brought more into line with the FE colleges funding rate in 2008/09 to address this anomaly.
