Post 18 Pathways

There are three main routes at Post 18:

• A) University 

• B) Apprenticeship

• C) Full time employment 

Some students may take a gap year before commencing one of the above routes. This may include working, volunteering, travelling or pursuing a special interest.

Advice for Year 12 students:

1) Start researching your options now so you can explore multiple pathways before you decide. You can use Unifrog to do this. Visit: https://www.unifrog.org/  

2) Start visiting open days for universities and employers, including virtual events, to keep informed and build up your knowledge of possible next steps.

3) Ensure you are looking at courses and apprenticeships at the right level so they challenge and develop you. For most sixth formers, this is likely to be Level 4 qualifications.

4) Book an appointment with our independent careers advisors or speak to the National Careers Service Helpline. 

5) Take part in extra curricular opportunities to build your knowledge and ks in areas of interest.

6) Speak to your parents/ guardians about your research options and show them your Unifrog activity so they can support you in exploring career options. They will be able to support you in considering key decisions.
