Details

Due to the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on further education and apprenticeship training activity, and the reporting of data, the Department for Education (DfE) replaced the planned further in-year statistics from the Apprenticeship and traineeships: April 2020 release onwards. We will publish the end-of-year releases normally published in November, but replacing the remaining in-year dates enables us to provide releases with more relevant information to cover the period affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

We intend to make headline statistics such as apprenticeship starts available on a regular basis, and to similar timescales to those currently, but we intend to repurpose our releases to focus on the most relevant information available. Please see the main text document for more information on the replacement to publications.

Email fe.officialstatistics@education.gov.uk to tell us about your key data needs. We’d particularly like to know how often you need data and how you’d like it broken down. For example, by age, level and individual framework or standard.

Read Statistics at DfE to find out about any changes.

This publication contain further education and skills statistics in England, including learner participation and achievements reported for the first three quarters (August 2019 to April 2020) of the 2019 to 2020 academic year (reported to date).

This comprises adult (aged 19 and over) government-funded further education (excluding schools and higher education) comprising:

  • education and training
  • English and maths
  • community learning

Additional data relating to all age apprenticeships (participation and achievements) are also being published for the first time in this release along with further breakdowns of the apprenticeship starts covering this same time frame, as published in the Apprenticeship and traineeships: June 2020 statistics publication. Headline further education figures include traineeships and apprenticeships where appropriate.

Further breakdowns of these data are available in the FE data library. Commentary and statistics specific to the last full academic year can be found in the Further education and skills: November 2019 statistics publication.

We are planning on moving all our further education and apprenticeship releases to a new platform during 2020. These plans are detailed in the ‘main text’ document.
