Responding to the Deputy Prime Minister’s call for a UCAS-style system for post-16 learning, UCAS’ Chief Executive Mary Curnock Cook said:
“UCAS has expanded its UCAS Progress service for post-16 learning choices and it now offers national coverage of vocational and academic courses in England and Wales.
“We have over 100,000 courses through 4,550 different providers listed in England and Wales and are already registering over 2.5 million page views per month. Our Information, Advice and Guidance pages received 350,000 views alone.
“This service builds on UCAS' 50 years’ experience running a national service for higher education and is free of charge for learners. Young people today want to use digital interfaces to support their learning choices and that is UCAS' core business.”
