  1. Age for achievements is based on age at the start of the programme, not the age at which they achieved.
  2. Route and mandatory degree status (if shown) are based the latest information published by Skills England (opens in new tab) at the point of publication, and may be subject to change.
  3. STEM apprenticeships include those in the Construction, Planning and the Built Environment, Digital Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies, and Science and Mathematics sector subject areas.
  4. There are a small number of starts on frameworks that have been reported in 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25. All remaining apprenticeship frameworks were withdrawn to new learners on 31 July 2020. Learners who started on frameworks are where it has been agreed a learner can return to a previous framework they have been on after an extensive break.
  5. Total achievements are the count of Apprenticeships achieved at any point during the stated academic period. Learners achieving more than one Apprenticeship will appear more than once.
