Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

This table provides the number of successes and success rates for Adult Learning activities in Wales. The data includes Adult Learning that is delivered by further education institutions and that by local authorities.

The counts are the number of learning activities that were attained, not a count of learners. The denominator for the completion rates is the number of terminated learning activities (with a small number of exclusions, including transfers). The denominator for success rates is the same but excluding non-assessable activities.

The dataset contains the following variables:

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

Provision type - 3 types of provision, directly delivered by local authorities, delivered via franchise agreement, directly delivered by FE institutions

Level - Follows the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales (CQFW).

Sector subject area - Follows the SSA classification system.

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

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

Adult learning statistics were revised for 2023/24 due to data quality issues. One local authority had been submitting learning to the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR) which should not have been included. The correct data for the 2023/24 academic year has been manually identified by the local authority, increasing the overall national success rate from 86% to 87%.

The investigation revealed that these data quality issues also existed in previous years, these have not been corrected. This should be considered when comparing figures from 2023/24 to previous years.

Please see the quality and information section of the report Sta/Medr/07/2025: Learner outcome measures for apprenticeship, August 2023 to July 2024 - Medr for more information. https://www.medr.cymru/en/News/sta-medr-07-2025-learner-outcome-measures-for-apprenticeships-august-2023-to-july-2024/

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].
