1. New provider data self-assessment toolkit
Information
We have released the new provider data self-assessment toolkit (PDSAT) for the 2016 to 2017 funding year on the PDSAT section of GOV.UK.
The PDSAT assists colleges and training organisations with their routine Individualised Learner Record data-checking procedures for data returns in 2016 to 2017.
We have also added functionality to PDSAT for 2016 to 2017 in response to sector feedback.
