(2) Total starts are the count of apprenticeships started at any point during the stated academic period. Learners starting more than one apprenticeship will appear more than once.

(3) Geography is based on the learner home postcode.

(4) Broxtowe is based upon the 2024 parliamentary constituency boundary.
