Main information

• Designation: Official statistics
• Data provider 1: Welsh Government
• Data source 1: Pupil Level Annual School Census (PLASC)
• Data provider 2: Welsh Government
• Data source 2: Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD)
• Data provider 3: Welsh Government
• Data source 3: Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR)
• Time period covered: August 2016 to July 2025

Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  This table provides the number of attainments and attainment rates for apprenticeships in Wales. The data includes Work Based Learning that is delivered by further education institutions and local authorities.

  The counts are the number of full apprenticeship frameworks that were attained, not a count of learners. The denominator for the attainment rates is the number of terminated programmes (with a small number of exclusions, including transfers).

  The dataset contains the following variables:

  Academic year - Runs from 1st August to 31st July.

  Programme type - Three level of apprenticeships: level 2 foundation apprenticeships, level 3 apprenticeships, level 4 to 5 higher apprenticeships.

  Age group - Age of the learner at 31st August of the academic year.

  Home region - The local authority of domicile of the learner, calculated using the learner's home postcode.

  Gender - It is displayed as it is collected in the data, but this does not follow best practice. We will evaluate how gender and/or sex should be collected in the Lifelong Learning Record Wales (LLWR).

  Demographic measure: Types of characteristic information.

  Demographic value: The individual characteristics of the demographic measure.

  Deprivation of home neighbourhood: The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) quintile of the area based on the learner's postcode.

  Ever free school meal (FSM) eligible: Eligibility for free school meals is a proxy measure for an individual’s experience of deprivation. A learner is defined in this report as “ever eligible for Free School meals” if they were eligible for free school meals at any point during secondary school in Wales. If they were not eligible in any year of secondary school in Wales they are described as ‘never eligible for Free School meals’. Learners who could not be matched to a secondary school record in Wales are categorised as unknown.

  Ethnic background - The ethnic background the learner identifies with.

  Learning difficulty or impairment: Learning difficulty or impairment types only relate to learners with a learning difficulty or impairment that impacts on their ability to learn and/or use facilities of a kind generally supplied by the learning provider, and are based on the learner's own assessment of their health.

• Data collection or calculation:

  From 2016/17 onwards all data in the table is calculated using the month 5 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze is produced close to the end of the December after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2023/24 data was taken close to the end of December 2024.

  Prior to 2016/17 data in the table was calculated using the month 7 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze was produced close to the end of the February after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2015/16 data was taken close to the end of February 2017.

• Statistical quality:

  Statisticians within the Medr review the data and query any anomalies with the LLWR data collection team and, where relevant, with learning providers before tables are published. The LLWR data underlying this table are intended to be final, for non-funding purposes.

• Rounding applied:

  All figures in the table have been rounded to the closest multiple of 5. All non-zero values less than 5 have been suppressed and are denoted by [c].
