This guide will prove invaluable for training providers, further education colleges, local authorities and anyone with an interest in the learner and employer-responsive data and performance regime.

It has been written by Nick Linford, author of The hands on guide to post-16 funding, in partnership with the Data Service and the information authority.

The guide explains why data is important and how it is used for the purposes of setting government policy as well as the performance management of providers and their courses. It includes lots of diagrams, images and worked examples to help the reader navigate and understand how the system works.

"This guide to performance and data is an invaluable reference tool which everyone involved in the delivery of post-16 education and training should have close to hand." Maxine Room, Principal, Lewisham College
