The Individualised Learner Record (ILR) is the primary data collection about further education and work-based learning in England. It is requested from learning providers in England's further education system. The data is used widely, most notably by the government to monitor policy implementation and the performance of the sector, and by organisations that allocate FE funding.
ILR data is collected from providers that are in receipt of funding from the Skills Funding Agency and the Education Funding Agency.
Specification
The ILR Specification defines what data is collected in the Individualised Learner Record for each academic year (from 1 August to 31 July).
