Answer: Rob Marris: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of successfully completed modern apprenticeships in (a) 2001-02 and (b) 2002-03 were provided by (i) further education colleges, (ii) private training providers and (iii) employers. [136976] Mr. Ivan Lewis :[holding answer 17 November 2003]: The information requested is not available. The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) published framework completion rates for modern apprenticeship programmes as a whole in July 2003. Current apprenticeships training is delivered in a variety of different ways, including collaboration between various providers and so is not always an exclusive relationship between one provider and one apprentice--hence it is not possible to estimate the proportion of modern apprenticeships successfully completed through different providers.
