A series of webinars for staff at higher education providers who will be completing the Higher Education Students Early Statistics (HESES) data return in 2024, aimed at those who are new to HESES and those wanting to refresh their knowledge.

Who are these webinars for?
HESES webinars were open to all providers (including further education and sixth form colleges and academies) that are registered or have applied to be registered with the OfS in the Approved (fee cap) category. These providers will be required to return the HESES24 data return in November and December 2024.
The webinars in this series are for people who will be completing HESES for the first time, or those who need a back-to-basics introduction.
If you are already experienced with the HESES data return, you may prefer to watch the recording of our ‘HESES24: essential updates for experienced staff’ webinar.
See HESES24 guidance for providers
