Footnotes

  1. Age for achievements is based on age at the start of the programme, not the age at which they achieved.
  2. Age for enrolments is based on age at the start of the programme.
  3. Age for starts is based on age at the start of the programme.
  4. Apprenticeship frameworks are grouped and shown based on their SASE (Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England) description. Each SASE description can include several related frameworks, and so can cover more than one sector subject area.
  5. Ethnic minorities do not include white minorities.
  6. Ethnicity categories have been aligned with the ethnicities recorded in the 2011 UK Census.
  7. Learner characteristics (such as sex, learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and ethnicity) are based upon self-declaration by the learner.
  8. 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 All remaining apprenticeship frameworks were withdrawn to new learners on 31 July 2020.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.
  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.
  11. 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).
  12. White comprises white British, Gypsy or Irish Traveller, Irish, and any other white background.
