programme costs to government have been calculated by the Skills Funding Agency from
the final Individualised Learner Record data return (R14) for the 2013/14 academic
year. It is based on all government-funded apprenticeship programmes that ended in
the 2013/14 academic year (including both completers and early leavers)</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>2) The age group refers to the age of learners at start of the programme</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>3) The average costs to government are rounded to the nearest
£100.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>4) The costs of different apprenticeship frameworks
are highly variable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>5) The funding of apprenticeships
