UCOL’s course completion results for people under 25 have seen dramatic improvement. “ In 2010, 45 per cent of people under 25 studying level 1-3 programmes completed their course, compared to 36 per cent in 2009. Our target was 40 per cent. Likewise, course completion rates for under 25 year olds studying at level 4 and higher went from 56 per cent in 2009 to 68 per cent in 2010. This reflects a very motivated group of young people who are putting in the effort and reaping the rewards.
