This means you can choose to study a:
- Vocational Level 2 qualification – equivalent to GCSEs, these courses give you an introduction to your desired industry
- Vocational Level 3 qualification – practical, hands-on courses that give you the relevant knowledge and skills to enter a huge number of industries
- T Levels – equivalent to three A levels, this new qualification gives you on-the-job learning in a real-life environment, helping you build skills for life
- Access to Higher Education diploma – the alternative to A levels or vocational Level 3 qualifications, an Access course prepares for you university in just one year
- Apprenticeships – available up to Level 7, apprenticeships give you on-the-job learning in the workplace, allowing you to earn a wage and build skills for life
- Adult courses – available to those aged 19+, you can choose to reskill or upskill with a vocational course, progress in your career with a professional qualification or discover a new hobby with a leisure course
