Expected Daytime On-Site Guided Learning Hours Data Definition
Note: This page is from an older version of the Data Dictionary and may therefore contain information that is now out of date. It is included here for reference only.
1 Expected Daytime On-Site Guided Learning Hours.
Purpose
2 Determines the amount of expected on site Guided Learning Hours (GLH), i.e. the expected GLH delivered on site by the provider during normal hours. This measure is used to estimate the amount of space-usage by providers during peak teaching hours. This excludes factors such as time in workplace, by distance learning, by a franchised partner etc. as these are activities that do not take place on the provider's premises during day-time.

Source Data
3 The following variables are used as source data for the calculation of Expected Daytime On-Site Guided Learning Hours.
Field Name | Label |
A17 | Delivery Mode |
A18 | Main Delivery Method |
A19 | Employer Role |
A21 | Franchised Out and Partnership Arrangements |
A_EXP_B | DV - Expected current year GLH using 1 Oct as first census date |
A_LIVE_B | DV - Status of aim for inclusion in analysis using 1 Oct as first census date (Method B) |
Derived Variables and Datasets
4 The definition produces the following derived variable(s)
Field Name | Label | Dataset |
L_OSEGLH | DV – Expected daytime on-site GLH | Learner Standard File |
L_OS1200 | DV – 1/0 flag to indicate whether the learner has more than 1200 expected onsite GLH | Learner Standard File |
Detailed definition
5 The code is more easily read if you consider all of the students hours studied, and then remove those hours that are not carried out in the provider's premises during peak usage time i.e. during the daytime.
6 The definition looks at all aims apart from those where the status of aim for inclusion in analysis is set as 'Not Included' (using A_LIVE_B) and the Delivery Mode (A17) of the aims is either day time or undefined continuous delivery, sandwich or block release (A17 = 1, 3, 4 or 5). This removes learning hours studied during the evening and hours from those students who are absent for the year.
7 The Employer Role (A19) needs to be that the learner is employed and either released by the employer to study a vocational learning aim relevant to that employment (A19=1) or studying a vocational learning aim relevant to that employment (A19=2). This removes learner hours where the learning is taking place on employer's premises.
8 Franchised Out and Partnership Arrangements (A21) need to be delivered by an FE sector provider under franchised out provision (A21=1) or have a missing value (A21=0 or missing). This removes franchised hours carried out at other premises.
9 If Main Delivery Method (A18) is class contact (A18=1) or NVQ delivered entirely at the institution (A18=11), then that aim's Expected Current Year Guided Learning Hours (A_EXP_B) is included in the learner's L_OSEGLH. If the aim is NVQ delivered mainly at the workplace (A18=12), then half of the aim's Expected Current Year Guided Learning Hours (A_EXP_B) is included in the learner's Expected Daytime On-Site Guided Learning Hours (L_OSEGLH). This removes hours carried out by the learner off-site.
10 The flag that indicates whether the learner has more than 1200 expected onsite Guided Learning Hours (L_OS1200) is derived by flagging those learners whose Expected Daytime On-Site Guided Learning Hours (L_OSEGLH) is greater than 1200. In this case (L_OS1200=1). This reduces those learners who have unfeasible amounts of contact hours to a more reasonable amount of contact hours.
