Rows with a logo and a tinted background belong to providers with a Showcase Profile. That changes how a row looks, never where it appears: every position in this table comes from the DfE's published achievement rate, and no provider can pay to move up. How we make money

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: Department for Education, apprenticeship national achievement rate tables, 2024/25. Rankings are compiled by FATP and are not endorsed by the DfE. Providers with DfE-suppressed data (very few learners) are not shown.
