Questions and Answers Q&A

This interactive visualisation shows the current qualification landscape for qualifications regulated by Ofqual.

For GCSEs, AS and A levels, the number of certificates is the number awarded following the November 2024 and June 2025 exam series (the 2024 to 2025 academic year).

For Vocational and technical qualifications, the number of certificates is the number awarded during the 12 month period from the beginning of quarter 4 2024 to the end of quarter 3 2025 (1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025).

'Available qualifications' includes those which were categorised as available to learners in Ofqual's Register based on qualification operational start dates and certification end dates as of 10 February 2026, or had certificates reported during the above time periods.

This interactive visualisation shows numbers of certificates awarded. For GCSEs, AS and A levels, it shows the number of certificates awarded following the November 2024 and June 2025 exam series (the 2024 to 2025 academic year). For vocational and technical qualifications, it shows the number of certificates awarded from the beginning of quarter 4 2024 to the end of quarter 3 2025 (1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025).

It also shows the number of qualifications which were available in England and regulated by Ofqual, based on qualification operational start dates and certification end dates as of 10 February 2026.

Figures are very similar to those reported in our annual qualifications market reports. However, note that as we separate out performance table qualifications in this interactive visualisations, figures for certain qualification types will therefore be different to those reported in our annual qualifications market reports.

Please note that the numbers of qualifications and certifications for apprenticeship end-point assessments (EPAs) are not included in this visualisation, because the awarding organisations Ofqual collects data for this visualisation from do not themselves issue EPA certificates.

T Level Technical Qualifications are also not included here as there is not a certificate for the Technical Qualification itself. Certificates for the overall T Level are issued by the Department for Education after collecting information from both awarding organisations and providers.

You can select specific qualifications using various filter buttons at the top of the page, according to:

qualification level - this gives an indication of the difficulty of the qualification, with higher levels being more difficult
sector subject area (SSA) - each SSA represents a broad subject domain and there are 15 altogether
performance table inclusion - it is possible to focus just on performance table qualifications (qualifications included in the performance tables lists as published by the Department for Education); this data is correct at 25 March 2026
qualification type - these are used to describe the nature of qualifications and are available in the Ofqual Register; this information is correct at 10 February 2026 - the exceptions are Applied Generals, Technical Awards, Technical Certificates and Tech Levels which are taken from the DfE performance table lists

It is also possible to search for matching terms in the qualification title. For example searching for the term 'Mandarin' will return all qualifications with 'Mandarin' in the qualification title.

Available qualifications are qualifications which were available for certification during the academic year, based on their operational start dates and certification end dates. This information is taken from Ofqual's Register. The availability of qualifications is correct at the point in time in which the Register data was extracted on 10 February 2026.

The table given underneath the chart shows detailed information on each qualification and the number of certificates in the relevant 12 month period.

The table may have more rows than there are qualifications available. This is usually a result of a qualification being recognised under 2 different awarding organisations at different points in the year, which can happen when there has been a merger or takeover, for example.

It is possible to download this data by clicking on the 'Download this table' button given at the bottom of the page.

Data on the number of certificates awarded is sent by awarding organisations to Ofqual. Numbers of certificates are rounded to the nearest 5. Numbers of certificates from 1 to 4 are rounded to 5.

We also publish certifications data for vocational and other qualifications on a quarterly basis as accredited official statistics.
