Footnotes

  1. In November 2025, following user feedback, we re-aligned the categories used in our provider type breakdowns.  A new category for local authorities has been introduced.  What remains in the “Other” category will include HE, NHS Trusts, Military, Govt departments, and other public bodies.
  2. 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.
  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. 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.
  5. Where shown, figures for 2025/26 are provisional and cover the first quarter (Aug to Oct).  Figures for other years are final and cover the full year (Aug to July).
