Data collection and calculation
Source: Annual Population Survey, Office for National StatisticsThe data are based on the results of the Annual Population Survey for 2008 onwards, a household survey carried out by the Office for National Statistics.
The survey asks respondents for the highest qualification that they hold. The highest qualifications are subsequently grouped into National Qualification Framework (NQF) levels. Figures are provided for those obtaining qualifications at least at a certain level, and qualifications up to and including a certain level.
Data have previously been presented as NVQ equivalencies. From September 2004, the National Qualification Framework (NQF) was expanded and the former levels 4 and 5 were divided into more precise levels (4-8). Data are now presented according to this classification.
