How we collect Post-16 data
The Information Services Team at UCAS works to maintain and supply course and provider data, under contract, to Ufi and the British Council. In addition, Ufi use the course data to provide a Learning Directory of courses that can be accessed via
- their main website www.learndirect-advice.co.uk
- the learndirect advice helpline 0800 100900
- over 80 'web portals' (sub-sections of the database either by subject or region)
The online facility called 'web-link' is available to schools in England to give direct access to course information so that any updates and additions required can be made for the next academic period. The service is available to you 24 hours a day, all year round, giving you the opportunity to keep your data accurate and up-to-date at all times.
