This is the number of learners who started an apprenticeship in medium-sized enterprises (50 to 249 employees) at any point during the full academic year (August to July). 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. These are available for people aged 16 to 64. The term ‘enterprise’ is defined as a business under autonomous and single control, usually producing a single set of accounts.

This is the count of apprenticeship programmes that begin in an academic year, showing the take-up of programmes. An apprentice is counted for each apprenticeship they start at a provider. It is not a count of unique learners. If a learner changes their programme, level or pathway, they will be treated as a new start. Learners undertaking more than one course will appear only once in the total. The geographical location refers to the workplace of the apprenticeship except for Ministry of Defence apprenticeships, where the training provider’s location is used. Figures exclude learners where the location is outside of England or unknown. Figures exclude privately funded training.

This data has been matched to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) data, to enable apprenticeships to be linked to information about their employers (such as industry sector, size band and legal status). These figures only include apprenticeships linked to enterprises (or local units) on the IDBR through a series of direct and fuzzy matching stages. The match rate has steadily increased, in 2020/21 94 per cent were matched to an employer enterprise in the IDBR.

This figures include both those supported by Apprenticeship Service Account (ASA) levy funds and those with non-levy paying employers. From April 2021, all new apprenticeship starts are managed through the apprenticeship service.

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.

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