Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?

Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

Help text
This is the number of learners who participated in a funded further education and skills course, including apprenticeships at any point during the full academic year (August to July). These are available for adults aged 19 to 64. It is a total of those doing Basic Skills (England and maths), Level 2, Full Level 2 (equivalent to a National Vocational Qualification at Level 2, or 5 GCSEs), Level 3, Full Level 3 (equivalent to a National Vocational Qualification at Level 3, or 2 A-Levels), Level 4+ and no level assigned. Apprenticeships are paid jobs that incorporate on-the-job and off-the-job training leading to nationally recognised qualifications. As an employee, apprentices earn as they learn and gain practical skills in the workplace.

Learners undertaking more than one course will appear only once in the total. Location is based upon the home postcode of the learner. Figures exclude learners where the location is outside of England or unknown. Figures exclude privately funded training.

Periods affected by varying COVID-19 restrictions, which will have impacted on apprenticeship and traineeship learning. Therefore, extra care should be taken in comparing and interpreting data. The data shown is for the latest full academic year, the Department for Education also publishes interim figures.

Data is rounded to the nearest ten and values of fewer than 5 have been suppressed.
