We're excited to announce our annual half-year release of MAYTAS and MAYTAS Hub is out now!
5.30 sees us roll-out a host of new funding system functionality for training providers in England and Wales in line with the requirements of the DfE & LLWR, as well as an expanded reporting library and numerous system enhancements. Below you'll find full details of what's new.
Introduction of New ILR and LLWR Tabs and Reports
MAYTAS 5.30 introduces new Individualised Learner Record (ILR) and Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR) tabs and reports. These updates enable more robust, compliant data collection and analysis, ensuring accurate audits and a clear operational overview consistent with regulatory demands.
Rollover Validation Rules
The release implements new rollover validation rules to support a smooth transition from 2024/25 to 2025/26. These rules are engineered to uphold data integrity and ensure ongoing compliance throughout the rollover period.
ILR Rollover Funding Calculation
Funding allocations will now be carried forward using existing 2024/25 rules during the 2025/26 rollover, streamlining financial projections and supporting uninterrupted funding forecasts for planning purposes.
ILR and LLWR Export Enhancements
Key export updates were developed to reflect updated Department of Education requirements. These changes guarantee accurate, timely, and compliant submissions — reducing the risk of rejected data and streamlining regulatory reporting.
Off-The-Job Training Reforms: Enhanced Delivery and Tracking
Effective August 2025, the Department of Education’s approach to Off-The-Job (OTJ) Training is evolving. Instead of requiring providers to calculate minimum hours per standard manually, a set minimum number of hours will be assigned to each apprenticeship standard.
To accommodate these changes, MAYTAS 5.30 features a dedicated table to house and manage standard-specific hours. Providers can now assign these values directly to learners, automating compliance while retaining flexibility for learners who began apprenticeships before the August 2025 cut-off (who remain eligible for manual calculation). This dual approach supports accurate delivery and reporting, ensuring every learner — old and new — is tracked appropriately.
Lookup Adjustments for Regulatory Alignment
To ensure seamless adoption of the updated ILR specification, lookup fields have been revised in MAYTAS 5.30. Notably, references to “ESFA” have been replaced with “DfE” for ACTCode and related designations, mirroring changes in the national policy and facilitating uniformity across all data points.
Expanded Reports Library
MAYTAS 5.30 features an updated Reports Library, designed to capture and reflect all changes made to the ILR and related fields. These optimised reports ensure that your organisation can quickly access the most accurate, relevant data and generate outputs that are fully aligned with current specifications.
