Footnotes

1. Education and Training includes Traineeships.
2. Geography is based upon the home postcode of the learner. Where the postcode is outside of an English devolved area or not known it is included in the 'Outside of an English Devolved Area and unknown' category.
3. Population data has been extracted from Nomis - Official Census and Labour Market Statistics (opens in a new tab). Population estimates for all years have been rebased to align with the Census 2021 results. Previously published rates per 100,000 have been updated in line with these new estimates. A few local authority districts have missing data, where this is the case the previous estimates have been used.
4. Total achievements are the count of learners that achieved at any point during the stated academic period. Learners achieving more than one course will appear only once in the grand total.
5. Total participation is the count of learners that participated at any point during the stated academic period. Learners undertaking more than one course will appear only once in the grand total.
6. Volumes are rounded to the nearest 10 and 'low' indicates a base value of fewer than 5. Where data shows 'x' this indicates data is unavailable, 'z' indicates data is not applicable, and 'c' indicates data is suppressed.
7. Figures for all academic years cover the twelve months (Aug to Jul) and are final full year figures.
