ILR Learner Dataset

Note: This page is from an older version of the Data Dictionary and may therefore contain information that is now out of date. It is included here for reference only.

1 This dataset is part of the ILR Collection.

2 In each ILR return there is only one learner data set, for each learner on a programme of learning at a provider. The learner data set contains basic information specific to the learner such as their name, date of birth, sex and ethnicity.

3 Each learner data set has associated with it one or more learning aim data sets and one ESF co-financing data set. These other data sets are linked to the learner data set. That is, the learner data set ‘owns’ these other data sets.

4 The table below shows the fields from the Individualised Learner Record (ILR). These are defined in the ILR Specification. The hyperlink will take you to the ILR page where you can view the specification for the relevant teaching year.
