- Notes
- CBSL Economic and Social Statistics, table 2.33. Compiled by Department of Technical Education and Training. Technical college intake and enrolment by course and college type (College of Technology / Technical College / Total), 2016-2025. Academic years run July-June (source note); the 'Total' row under each course is the College of Technology + Technical College sum for that course (checked, 128/128 agree), not a students-total across courses (a student can enrol in more than one Short Course, so summing course totals would double-count - not checked as an identity for that reason).
