The latest learner recruitment data is now available on the MIDES platform, featuring 2025/26 ILR data from participating AoC member colleges. This update provides an early view of how 16-19 funded learner recruitment has changed this year compared to 2024/25.
Through the interactive report, colleges can:
-
-
- Review changes in learner volumes between 2024/25 and 2025/26.
-
-
- Compare recruitment by sector subject area, and qualification level.
-
-
- Benchmark their data against national trends and other comparator groups, including region, rurality, and provider type.
-
-
-
If your college was among those that submitted data in both 2024/25 and 2025/26, you’ll be able to view your college’s own change data and compare it against wider sector benchmarks.
