Data set from Further education outcomes

Progression of younger learners born in or since 1988, by provider (PRV05)

Not the latest data

Published 30 November 2023

Last updated 30 November 2023

Reports on the learning destinations and progression of younger learners that achieved their FE & skills, and apprenticeship aims, and traineeship learners that completed their aim. Broken down by provider, provision, learner demographics and level of learning. This file contains only data for learners whose full academic record is recorded in the NPD and ILR datasets,  meaning the department holds the full educational history (i.e. those who are born in or since 1988). Destination rates are calculated as a proportion of learners who meet these criteria.
