Details

This report is based on 2 surveys, carried out in 2025, which covered the third cohort of T Level learners, TLFY learners and Level 4 and 5 learners.

The reports focus on learners’:

• reflections on their courses and satisfaction with their courses
• destinations and outcomes after the course
• future plans, including intentions for work or study, and factors shaping their career decisions

The data tables provide the underlying information for the reports.

The technical education learner progression survey 2024 has findings from the fourth year of fieldwork.
