What qualifications can you get?
A Levels
A-levels are the main academic route to university. They are achieved after two years of study and there are lots of different subjects to choose from. You can also take A-levels alongside vocational qualifications.
Apprenticeships
When you do an apprenticeship you’re out in the workplace four or five days a week and earn a wage, but some of your time is also spent working towards professional qualifications. Certain types of apprenticeships can also lead to university qualifications.
Vocational Qualifications
You can also opt to take vocational qualifications offered by a sixth form or local college. Vocational qualifications are qualifications related to a specific area of employment, e.g. if you want to do care work, you can take Health and Social Care.
NEW: T Levels
T-levels are a new type of tehnical qualification, designed for after your GCSEs. They've been developed alongside employers to make sure that what you learn meets the needs of industry and prepares you for work.
