Apprenticeships Starts and Completions, Region and Local Authority
type: Dataset
description: Table shows numbers and index change since 2005/06 of apprenticeship starts and completions.

Figures for earlier years are based on the Office for National Statistics Postcode Directory. Figures for 2003/04 to 2008/09 based on earlier geographic boundaries ar…
