The flexibility of FE in offering part-time provision is evident in the above. The HE sector has made strides in offering part-time courses, but there is still a significant bias in favour of full-time provision.

There are 15 job centres in the Edinburgh LEF area. A total of 3309 people are participating on all New Deal programmes within the LEF area.
The above figures give the combined total for participation across all four options for 18-24 year olds.
New Deal programmes have been introduced since 1998 under the government’s welfare to work strategy. They have been developed to improve the employability of different categories of unemployed people. Whilst there is only one specific New Deal dedicated to learning – the Full Time Education and Training Option for 18 – 24 year olds - all of the New Deals relate to lifelong learning in that there is usually some element of learning or training activity, albeit in many instances informal learning, in New Deal provision i.e. in environmental improvement work, in work placement with employers, or work in a voluntary organisation.

In 2000/01 across the Prison Service as a whole some 233,000 prisoner learning hours were delivered:
SPS also delivers basic skills screening and prepares individual learning plans. Vocational training is devolved to each prison and across all establishments over 1,500 SQA units were delivered in 2000/01. With some 1800 prisoners liberated while on learning programmes, exit guidance has become a high priority.
