How rankings work

Achievement rate

Official apprenticeship achievement rate published by Skills England.

Satisfaction scores

Employer and apprentice satisfaction ratings from national surveys.

Scale and volume

Total learner volume, reflecting a provider's capacity to deliver at scale.

Specialist depth

Learner-to-standard ratio. Providers focused on fewer standards with more learners score higher.

Responsiveness

How quickly providers respond to employer enquiries on the platform.

Rankings are calculated from a weighted blend of these factors and refresh quarterly when new Skills England data lands. Scores are out of 100.
