Data set from Further education outcomes

Destinations by qualification title, provision and sector subject area 201314 - 201516 (QUA01)

Not the latest data

Published 24 November 2022

Last updated 24 November 2022

Reports on the employment, and learning destinations of adult FE & Skills learners, all age apprentices that achieved their learning aim, and Traineeship learners that completed their aim. Destination rates are calculated as a proportion of learners for whom a match was found in the LEO data. Includes earnings data one year after learning for learners achieving at Full level 2, Full level 3 and Level 4+. Broken down by qualification title, learner age, level of learning, apprenticeship type, access to higher education and sector subject area (tiers 1 & 2). Please note that the number of rows in this file 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.
