Level 4 and 5 provision in England: provider perspectives
In January 2018, we commissioned York Consulting to undertake a qualitative study on providers’ perspectives about Level 4 and 5 provision in England. This report describes the views of 23 higher education providers (including further education colleges, universities, and alternative providers) on the viability of Level 4 and 5 provision; labour market and employer influences on Level 4 and 5 provision; and providers’ approaches to widening participation at Levels 4 and 5.
