The retention rates are good. Over the past two years, retention rates have increased from 89 per cent to 93 per cent. In the current year, the proportion of learners who have completed their courses is nearly 10 per cent and 88 per cent of learners are still active. Many of the learning centres have retention rates of over 90 per cent. Good retention rates are identified as a strength in the self-assessment report.
