Apprenticeships are available from level 2, equivalent to GCSE level, through to level 6, equivalent to a bachelor’s degree, and level 7, equivalent to a master’s degree. The attached file contains male/female breakdowns by apprenticeship level for apprenticeship starts from the 2017/18 to 2020/21 academic years.
Apprenticeship achievements from 2017/18 to 2020/21 are shown in the table below:
Academic Year | Achievements |
2017/18 | 276,160 |
2018/19 | 185,150 |
2019/20 | 146,900 |
2020/21 | 156,530 |
Total achievements are the count of apprenticeships achieved at any point during the stated academic period. Learners achieving more than one apprenticeship will appear more than once.
