Further education outcomes

Data guidance

Published

Description


The Further Education (FE) outcomes present statistics on the employment, earnings and learning outcomes of FE learners in the academic year following achievement of their aim. These data files cover all FE learners aged 16+ with learning recorded in the ILR. However the main publication does not report on 16 to 18 education and training learners, and instead focuses on adult (19+) education and training learners, and all age apprenticeship and traineeship learners. 

The data uses the longitudinal education outcomes (LEO) study, which looks at how learners move through education and into the labour market by bringing together:

  • schools, further and higher education information from the Department for Education (DfE)
  • employment information from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
  • benefit histories from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)

Coverage


This publication reports on the employment and learning destinations of ESFA funded further education learners from 2017/18 to 2021/22. Included in this cohort are:

  • All apprenticeship learners
  • All traineeship learners
  • Adult (aged 19+) education and training learners (Note: 16 to 18 education and training learners are included in the underlying data files, but are mostly not reported on in this publication)
  • Community learners (reported on separately)

File formats and conventions

The underlying data files are provided in comma separated value (csv) format.

Whole numbers are rounded to the nearest 10, percentages are provided to the nearest whole number. Figures have been suppressed with the value ‘c’ for small values. 

Please note that the number of rows in most files exceeds the number which can be opened within Microsoft Excel. We therefore recommend using this data within the table builder tool, rather than downloading it directly.
