Framework Success Rates
Over the last few years apprenticeship learning programme numbers have fallen from 53,165 in 2006/07 to 39,600 in 2010/11. This is primarily due to the increase in the quality and range of apprentices in Wales and improved success rates; 80% of leavers in 2009/10 achieved a full apprenticeship certificate. This means apprentices stay in learning longer, obtain a range of skills and a fuller set of qualifications that meets needs of employers and the aspirations of apprentices, whatever their age. During 2010/2011 the overall framework success rate has improved even further to 82%.
