This table provides the number of Welsh for Adults learners and enrolments at Welsh for Adults Centres. The Welsh for Adults Centres comprise five higher education institutions and one further education institution (Coleg Gwent).The learner count for Coleg Gwent is based on unique learner identifiers and its enrolment count is of learning activities. The type of learning programme (LP17) is used to separate Welsh for Adults programmes from other Coleg Gwent data. Data for the five higher education institutions was taken from the HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) Student Record.
The standard registration population counts registrations once for each year of programme of study, and excludes dormant students, incoming visiting and exchange students and students studying the entire programme outside of the UK. Any students who leave within two weeks of their start date (or its anniversary) and are on a course of more than two weeks duration are also excluded, though these learners are included in the session population figures.
All figures are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. Any values greater than 0 and less than 5 have been suppressed and replaced with an asterisk (*).
Data collection and calculation
The data for Coleg Gwent is calculated using the month 7 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze is produced close to the end of the February after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2012/13 data was taken close to the end of February 2014.The data for the five higher education institutions is taken from the HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) Student Record.
