Further Education Choices Learner Satisfaction Survey

*** Updated Expression of Interest 05/08/19 *** Clarification of the inclusion of a mid-point review clause. FE Choices is an annual learner and employer satisfaction survey that has run for 11 years.

This EOI is for the Learner Survey only. The Employer survey is not being commissioned at this time.

The survey satisfaction data provide comparable information to help learners and employers make informed choices about education and training. The survey has been open to all publicly funded learners and apprentices (excluding those learners attending school sixth forms) in England.

For 2018/19, this put approximately 1.7 million learners in scope of the survey (in approximately 1,600 colleges and training providers). Approximately 345,000 learners completed the survey last year.

The aim of the survey is to provide performance indicators for Learner Satisfaction. This is derived from the questionnaire, which captures learners' perceptions about their course, learning programme or training programme.
