Cost and outreach pilots evaluation

Details

This report provides findings from the evaluation of the cost and outreach pilots which ran during the 2018 to 2019 academic year.

The cost and outreach pilots looked at:

  • different approaches to outreach in engaging adults in learning
  • whether offering a course fee subsidy encourages take up

Fieldwork ran from September 2018 to December 2019.

The findings from this report and the flexible learning fund pilot evaluation will inform the development of adult skills and retraining policy, including the National Skills Fund.

A report on the interim findings of the cost and outreach pilot evaluation is also available.
