Footnotes

1. A minor amendment to how we count ‘starts supported by Apprenticeship Service Account (ASA) levy funds’ was applied for 2019/20. A further minor amendment was applied from 2020/21, please see the 'Methodology changes' section of the 'Further education and skills statistics: methodology' document for more information.
2. Age for achievements is based on age at the start of the programme, not the age at which they achieved.
3. Age for apprenticeship participation is based on age as at 31 August of the academic year.
4. Age for starts is based on age at the start of the programme.
5. Figures for all years are final and cover all four quarters (Aug to July).
6. Participation at intermediate, advanced and higher levels is a count of learners that participated at those levels at any point during the year. Learners undertaking more than one course will only appear once at each level but can appear in the count at more than one level.
7. Participation is the count of learners that participated at any point during the year. Learners undertaking more than one course will appear only once in the grand total.
8. Starts supported by ASA levy funds in the 2016/17 academic year were only possible from May 2017 onwards. Figures for 2016/17 should be compared with caution to subsequent years.
9. 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.
10. Total starts are the count of apprenticeships started at any point during the stated academic period. Learners starting more than one Apprenticeship will appear more than once.
