"Planned Learning Hours" (and "Planned EEP Hours", if applicable) are recorded in the 'Planned Learning Hours' section of a learner's ILR.
If a learner has multiple episodes of learning in PICSWeb, then you should record the hours that are applicable to each one, within the ILR 'Planned Learning Hours' sections of those respective episodes.
Separate 'Planned Learning Hours' values must be entered, for each specific ILR year in which the learner's active. For example, an episode's "2023 Planned Learning Hours" shall only be exported in the ILR for 2023/24; whereas the episode's "2024 Planned Learning Hours" shall only be exported in the ILR for 2024/25.
During ILR exports, for learners who have multiple episodes, the 'Planned Learning Hours' recorded in each of their episodes (for the ILR year to be exported) are added together, into a combined total of all 'Planned Learning Hours' for that ILR year recorded for the learner, across all their episodes of learning.
This combined total of 'Planned Learning Hours' recorded for that ILR year, across all of the learner's episodes which were active during that year, is the value which will be exported from PICSWeb as the ILR "Planned Learning Hours" for that learner, for that ILR year.
