Statistics Finland compiles statistics on students and obtained qualifications in vocational education. The first annual statistics that become available are preliminary data on vocational education provided by educational institutions at the cut-off point of time of 20 September, and on participation in skills examinations during the calendar year. The final statistics are compiled from collected individual-based data. The final statistics on vocational education contain data on students registered at educational institutions on 20 September as participants in education leading to a vocational qualification, attainers of a qualification during the calendar year, and on participants in apprenticeship training for the calendar year. In accordance with the Statistics Act, the personal data from which these statistics are compiled are confidential. As a rule, the statistics produced from them are public. Data concerning students and attainers of qualifications in the vocational education provided in educational institutions and in apprenticeship training are available by both curriculum-based vocational education (initial vocational qualifications) and on preparatory vocational education for skills examinations (initial vocational qualifications, further vocational qualifications, specialist vocational qualifications). Data are also available on educational institutions, passed examinations by educational programme and on the regional distribution of education.
