- Figures last updated on 2026-10-12.

- Indicator id: `rqf4_plus_share_16_64`
- Unit: %
- Note: A survey estimate: local authority figures rest on small samples and can move several points from one year to the next without a real change, so compare years with care. The RQF series starts in 2022, when the survey changed its qualification questions; it is not comparable with the older NVQ level 4 series. It covers ages 16 to 64, so it is not comparable with tertiary_attainment_share_25_64.
