The journeys people actually take

We are often asked what a learner journey looks like in AURIS. Rather than write one, we counted them. Every figure below comes from our own learning records.

No personal detail is published here. We do not name learners, quote them or describe anyone's circumstances, and we only publish a pattern when at least 5 people share it, so no figure can point to one person.

The common patterns

  • Started a course

    35

    People with at least one course enrolment recorded.

  • Finished at least one course

    7

    People with at least one enrolment recorded as completed.

  • Went on to a second course

    7

    People who finished one course and enrolled on another.

  • Moved from free learning to paid learning

    5

    People with both a free course and a paid course enrolment.

  • Hold a certificate

    6

    People holding at least one certificate that has not been withdrawn.

Half of the people who finish a course do so within 0 days of starting their first one. This is the midpoint of the recorded gap between a first enrolment and a first completion, not an average, so a single long return does not move it.

Where journeys begin

No course has yet been finished by enough people to publish a figure without risking identifying someone.

What we do not publish

We hold written reflections from learners inside the Academy. They belong to the learner. We do not publish them, quote from them or paraphrase them, and we will only ever publish an individual account where that person has given us permission for that specific use.

The research programme is separate, and reported separately. It stands at 47 transcribed and coded interviews, owner-reported as of 28 October 2026; target 108. The pattern it is testing is emerging, not proven.
