General description
This table provides the number of successes and success rates for Adult Learning activities in Wales. The data includes Adult Learning that is delivered by further education institutions and that by local authorities.The counts are the number of learning activities that were attained, not a count of learners. The denominator for the success rates is the number of terminated, assessable learning activities (with a small number of exclusions, including transfers).
Data collection and calculation
From 2016/17 onwards all data in the table is calculated using the month 5 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze is produced close to the end of the December after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2016/17 data was taken close to the end of December 2017.Prior to 2016/17 data in the table was calculated using the month 7 freeze of the Lifelong Learning Wales Record (LLWR). This freeze was produced close to the end of the February after the academic year in question finishes. For example, the freeze containing the 2015/16 data was taken close to the end of February 2017.

Some of the figures for the 2021/22 academic year have been revised. Adult learning activities directly delivered by Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy and Denbighshire were incorrectly excluded. Changes have been marked with (r). The overall completion and success rates for adult learning activities were unchanged.Statisticians within the Welsh Government review the data and query any anomalies with the LLWR data collection team and, where relevant, with learning providers before tables are published.
The LLWR data underlying this table are intended to be final, for non-funding purposes.
