Early years practitioner Apprenticeship in Greater Manchester

Level 2 · 12 months · Funding band: £5,000

Top providers in Greater Manchester by achievement rate

View the full Early years practitioner provider ranking

Official 2024/25 achievement rates for Early years practitioner, published by the Department for Education. Learner numbers shown - providers with fewer than 30 leavers are listed separately. The DfE rounds achievement and leaver counts to the nearest 10, so a rate marked * is approximate and the true figure may be lower. Only providers delivering in Greater Manchester are listed; the DfE publishes each provider's rate nationally, not per site. How this table works
