Footnotes

1. Ethnic minorities do not include white minorities.
2. Learner characteristics (such as age, sex, learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and ethnicity) are based upon self-declaration by the learner.
3. 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.
4. Basic skills total excludes Essential Digital Skills qualifications, unless otherwise specified.
5. 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.
6. Age is based on age as at 31 August of the academic year.
7. From 2016/17, some learners who would have previously been included in full level 2 and full level 3, have been reclassified. Please see the methodology document for further information.
8. 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.
9. Education and Training includes Traineeships.
10. A learner may record multiple LLDD categories but must indicate which of these is the primary disability, difficulty or health problem. The overall ‘Primary LLDD and health problem’ totals may not match the main LLDD figures which uses a different field.
11. Ethnicity categories have been aligned with the ethnicities recorded in the 2011 UK Census.
