This software is supplied free of charge to providers who will submit ILR data to ESFA but who do not have access to a data management system. It is optional to use ILR Learner Entry to prepare data files prior to submission to the ESFA’s data collection portal. You will need to ensure that you are using the version for the correct academic year as the new version has been updated to reflect the ILR changes.
You can download the ILR learner entry tool from the useful links area on the front page of the Hub.
