Quality as measured by these indicators was, in the
main, maintained at, or improved on, 2011 outcomes.
Two indicators saw a marginal decline.
As noted in previous years, this indicator has
methodological flaws, and these are still being
highlighted by particularly strong, and continuing,
growth in degree programme EFTS since 2008.
The outcomes for 2012 noted here are also likely to
improve as a result of further reporting on results.
(there was an increase of six percentage points
between the 2011 annual report outcome and 2011
published result).
Despite all the above Wintec continues to perform
strongly against ITP sector results in terms of
published EPI outcomes for this measure.
42% ≥40% 45% This result, for the 2011 cohort progressing into
2012, is based on draft EPI outcome data and while
subject to final confirmation by TEC it is unlikely
to change.
85% 91% A good outcome which aligns with our strong
performance for retention across the organisation.
