Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average duration is of all completed traineeships to date.

In the June Statistical First Release we published data showing that there were 7,400 traineeships starts between August 2013 and April 2014 – the first nine months of the programme. We do not yet have reliable data to break this down further.

Further information on traineeships data is published online at:
