Notes:
- Data source: Single Individualised Learner Record.
- Within the Individualised Learner Record, providers can record the start date, planned end date, and actual end date for each apprenticeship record.
- Actual end date is only recorded for learners who have reached the end of their programme, or those who have withdrawn early.
- This calculation only includes those learners who have completed their programme in 2016/17.
- Some learners can complete their programme in a shorter time due to prior learning.
- Some learners take longer than expected due to planned breaks in learning.
- A small number of learners from the Employer Outcome Pilot are not included in this calculation
