PDSAT Essentials for your Apprenticeship Provision

Recorded support package | Available on-demand

The Provider Data Self Assessment Toolkit (PDSAT) is an essential tool in helping you check and validate your ILR data, claim the right funding and give you confidence when ESFA auditors come to call.

Understanding how to use PDSAT is essential.

That’s why we created this recorded support package – to help you get a good grasp of PDSATs, give you the tools to interrogate your data effectively and avoid funding errors.

What the package covers:

  • The key components of PDSAT reporting and functionality (including annotations)
  • How to integrate your data to flag risks and improve data integrity
  • The actions you can take to tackle data that is showing potential anomalies
  • The role of PDSAT in the ESFA’s assurance review (audit)
  • How to explain and use the tool within your organisation

We also offer a 1-hour one-to-one follow-up session with one of our expert PDSAT practitioners for you to check your approach to PDSATs and get tailored tips on how to make improvements.

This session is designed for MI & ILR data managers, programme leaders, compliance officers and administrators.

Who you’ll be hearing from

David Lockhart-Hawkins, SDN’s funding and compliance expert will facilitate this session.

After working in the sector for over 20 years, David has supported hundreds of providers to establish effective compliance systems. His in-depth understanding of funding and wider apprenticeship delivery gives him a unique insight into compliance across the organisation.
