    Description

    This dataset covers vocational qualifications starting 2012 to present for England.

    The dataset is updated every quarter. Data for previous quarters may be revised to insert late data or to correct an error. Updates also reflect where qualifications were re-categorised to a different type, level, sector subject area or awarding organisation. Where a quarterly update includes revisions to data for previous quarters, a table of revisions is published in the vocational and other qualifications quarterly release

    In the dataset, the number of certificates issued are rounded to the nearest 5 and values less than 5 appear as ‘Fewer than 5’ to preserve confidentiality (and a 0 represents no certificates).

    Where a qualification has been owned by more than one awarding organisation at different points in time, a separate row is given for each organisation.

    Background information and key headlines for every quarter are published in in the vocational and other qualifications quarterly release.

    For any queries contact us at data.analytics@ofqual.gov.uk.

    - Using this knowledge targeted towards you interests has been best covered through a resume writing service with qualifications in that field - ideally one that is familiar with trends related specifically to the applicable certification/accreditation program(s) associated with your desired position(s)

    Ireland, Northern Ireland
    Description

    This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over in Northern Ireland by their highest level of qualification, and by broad age bands. The estimates are as at census day, 21 March 2021.

    The census collected information on the usually resident population of Northern Ireland on census day (21 March 2021). Initial contact letters or questionnaire packs were delivered to every household and communal establishment, and residents were asked to complete online or return the questionnaire with information as correct on census day. Special arrangements were made to enumerate special groups such as students, members of the Travellers Community, HM Forces personnel etc. The Census Coverage Survey (an independent doorstep survey) followed between 12 May and 29 June 2021 and was used to adjust the census counts for under-enumeration.

    'Age' is age at last birthday.

Description

This dataset covers vocational qualifications starting 2012 to present for England.

The dataset is updated every quarter. Data for previous quarters may be revised to insert late data or to correct an error. Updates also reflect where qualifications were re-categorised to a different type, level, sector subject area or awarding organisation. Where a quarterly update includes revisions to data for previous quarters, a table of revisions is published in the vocational and other qualifications quarterly release

In the dataset, the number of certificates issued are rounded to the nearest 5 and values less than 5 appear as ‘Fewer than 5’ to preserve confidentiality (and a 0 represents no certificates).

Where a qualification has been owned by more than one awarding organisation at different points in time, a separate row is given for each organisation.

Background information and key headlines for every quarter are published in in the vocational and other qualifications quarterly release.
