Our understanding of the characteristics and motivations of individuals who participate in level 2 courses is limited. While their demographic features are wellknown, few studies have used longitudinal data to look at the life histories of participants and thus our understanding of what may influence or predict their participation in learning is limited. This report aims to address this issue, describing the characteristics of people who return to learning to take level 2 qualifications and their pathways to progression. The research draws on two nationally representative longitudinal studies, the National Child Development Survey (NCDS) and the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS).
