The figures above reflect the number of unique candidates who in 2017 were effectively enrolled in and paid for a course of study (enrolments) after they registered (registrations) at an information session. In 2017 there were 5,844 unique participants in at least one examination by the Examination Board of the Flemish Community (participants). This figure is higher than the number of enrolments because those candidates who enrolled for 2015 but did not yet graduate have been included in the figures.
