<H2>HEIFES data return beginners/refresher seminars: London, Bristol and Manchester</H2>
This training on funding data returns is for Further Education Colleges, Sixth Form Colleges and academies that have registered (or applied to be registered) with the OfS in the approved (fee cap) category. 
<H2>How to complete OfS data returns</H2>
OfS is holding three seminar days on 'HEIFES data return training for colleges'. All three days will cover the same agenda, but will be held in different locations, London, Bristol and Manchester. 
The events will include the following sessions:
- OfS funding rules and definitions - How funding is calculated from data - A step-by-step guide to completing the tables - Data verification timescales and processes.
The content covered will also be applicable to providers new to OfS funding who will be completing the HESF survey. The day will be structured to allow different groups of providers to access the information relevant to them. 
These events are beginners’ sessions for people who will be completing a data return for the first time in 2018-19, or those who previously completed HEIFES and need a back-to-basics introduction. The events will involve hands-on training in completing your data return. 
Delegates need no previous knowledge of the HEIFES return to attend, but we recommend that they know about the types of higher education courses at their provider (for example, how and when they are delivered), as well as their provider’s data collection systems. We also recommend that delegates read our <A HREF="https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/guide-to-funding-2018-19/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Guide to Funding 2018-19</A> before they attend.
<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Intended audience</H2>
These seminars are intended for people who will be completing the data return, those responsible for verifying the data, and people looking to gain an understanding of the changes for 2018-19.
The event will cover OfS funding definitions that also apply to ILR data so the seminars are also suitable for people with responsibility for completing higher education fields of their provider’s ILR returns. We also encourage attendance from HE Managers to increase their understanding of how their funding is calculated and to enable them to play a fuller part in checking the data.
Whilst a laptop (or similar) is not required, delegates may choose to bring their own devices to work through practical exercises; however, paper copies and examples will be provided on the day. Please note that the venue cannot guarantee charging points for all delegates.
