Apprenticeships Starts and Completions, Region and Local Authority

Table shows numbers and index change since 2005/06 of apprenticeship starts and completions. Apprenticeships are paid jobs that incorporate on- and off-the-job training leading to nationally recognised qualifications. As an employee, Apprentices earn as they learn and gain practical skills in the workplace. An Apprenticeship framework contains the following separately certified elements. • A knowledge-based element (the theoretical knowledge underpinning a job in a certain occupation and industry, typically certified via a Technical Certificate). • A competence-based element (the ability to discharge the functions of a certain occupation, typically certified via work-based assessed national vocational qualifications - NVQs). • Transferable skills (literacy and numeracy) - key skills / functional skills. • A module on employment rights and responsibilities. This table shows provisional estimates for 2010/11. It is not possible to directly compare provisional 2010/11 estimates with figures for previous years. Volumes are rounded to the nearest ten except for England Total and Grand Total which are rounded to the nearest hundred. Unlike participation figures, figures for 2008/09 onwards are comparable with earlier years as demand led funding rules are not applied to starts. Full-year numbers are a count of the number of starts at any point during the year. Learners starting more than one framework will appear more than once. Programme-Led Apprenticeships recorded in WBL ILR returns are included in the figures. Government Office Region and Local Authority are based upon the home postcode of the learner. These figures are based on the geographic boundaries of local authorities as of May 2010. Figures for 2010/11 are based on postcode to geographic area assignments in the National Statistics Postcode Lookup. Figures for earlier years are based on the Office for National Statistics Postcode Directory. Figures for 2003/04 to 2008/09 based on earlier geographic boundaries are available in the SFR Archive, but these cannot be directly compared with new figures due to boundary changes. The years given refer to academic years starting from August. Download the data from The Skills Funding Agency.

本表展示了自2005年6月以来的学徒开始和完成数量的数据及指数变化。学徒制系一种结合岗位内及岗位外培训的薪酬工作，旨在获得国家认可的职业资格。作为雇员，学徒在学习的进程中同时获得收入，并在工作场所积累实践经验。学徒制框架包含以下分别认证的要素：
• 基于知识的要素（特定职业和行业内工作的理论知识基础，通常通过技术证书进行认证）。
• 基于能力的要素（履行特定职业职能的能力，通常通过基于工作的评估国家职业资格证书——NVQs进行认证）。
• 可转移技能（读写能力和数学能力）——关键技能/功能性技能。
• 就业权利与责任模块。
本表显示了2010/11年度的初步估计数据。由于缺乏直接比较，故无法将2010/11年度的初步估计数据与往年数据直接对比。数据量四舍五入至最接近的十，除英格兰总计和总计数四舍五入至最接近的百外。与参与人数不同，自2008/09年度起的数据与早期年份的数据可比，因为起始需求并未应用资金资助规则。全年数据为年内任何时间开始数量的计数。开始多个框架的学习者将多次出现。WBL ILR返回中记录的项目制学徒制也包含在数据中。政府办公室区域和地方当局基于学习者的家庭邮政编码。这些数据基于2010年5月的地方当局地理边界。2010/11年度的数据基于国家统计数据邮政编码查找中邮政编码到地理区域的分配。早期年份的数据基于国家统计局邮政编码目录。2003/04至2008/09年度的数据基于较早的地理边界，可在SFR档案中找到，但由于边界变化，这些数据无法与新的数据直接比较。所列年份指从8月开始的教育年度。数据可从技能资助机构下载。
