     Updated the document template and clarified aspects of the text. AEA no longer in scope. Time period in scope changed from individual exam series to full academic year. Updated accepted values for fields ‘Original qualification grade` and ‘Post Ear qualification grade’ removing legacy grades. Updated format for Date Received and Date Completed to only accept yyyy-mm-dd as valid date format. Updated accepted values for QualificationLevel to harmonise with other GQ templates. Changed validation for Centre No. to accept 5 digits only (or -2) and added validation rule for valid NCN. Changed validation for Unique Candidate Identifier to accept 13 characters only (or -2) in line with the expectation for a valid UCI. Added fields UniqueLearnerNumber, CandidateIdentifierOther and CentrePostcode with respective validation rules.
