The question asking whether the employment position was permanent or temporary was only asked of those completers who indicated that they were either in full time or part time employment or self employed (n=281).

| The sample of learners was drawn from the 2011/12 ILR which covers the academic year 2011 /12, so that individuals who were enrolled on a learning aim in 09/2011 were included as potential survey respondents. The survey of learners took place in March/April 2012, and as such some learners had completed their studies, some had failed to complete or had withdrawn, while some learners were continuing with their studies. As such, at the time of survey response, learners who had completed their learning aim were probably completed their learning aim at most 3 to 6 months previously.,,,,,, |
