I noticed someone was saying that there has been a \u201chuge\u201d drop in the number of people training to become ADIs.<\/p>\n

Using the DSA\u2019s new published statistics<\/font><\/a>, the following can be gleaned from the number of people taking Part 2 tests<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Year<\/strong><\/td>\nTotal Part 2 Tests<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2007\/08<\/td>\n16,185<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2008\/09<\/td>\n14,574<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2009\/10<\/td>\n14,942<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2010\/11<\/td>\n10,916<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

So, it would appear that the number was relatively flat between 2007 and 2010, but showed a drop of about 4,000 last year. However, it should be noted that the number of those passing<\/strong> the test only fell by about 2,000 between last year and the previous period (i.e. the success rate appears to be increasing).<\/p>\n

For Part 3<\/strong>, there are only data available for the last two years:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n
Year<\/strong><\/td>\nTotal Part 3 Tests<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2009\/10<\/td>\n10,581<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2010\/11<\/td>\n9,204<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

Here, there is a yearly difference of about 1,200 \u2013 but the total number of passes<\/strong> only fell by 344 \u2013 or around 3.5% from the previous period. You could argue that a greater percentage of people passing Part 2 ended up passing Part 3 last year, since the difference between Part 2 and Part 3 is much smaller for last year than it is for the previous year (i.e greater success rate). But there is insufficient data to conclude this with any certainty (it\u2019s probably a contributory factor). In any case, the pass rate from the DSA data is flat.<\/p>\n

The previous years were those covered by the \u201cearn \u00a330k, no qualifications needed\u201d adverts. Last year was free of that, so it is also likely that the quality of those embarking upon training is now improving \u2013 hence the greater success rates if you look at the data overall.<\/p>\n

When you also consider that 2011 was a terrible year<\/font><\/a> as far as the economy was concerned, I don\u2019t think you can say anything other than people were being careful how they spent their money.<\/p>\n

And the other thing to remember is that \u2013 just like share prices \u2013 a fall is often followed by a rise. It might not be this year, as the fall in Part 2 tests is carried forward, but it\u2019s pretty certain that there will be one at some stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
