A Levels

A Levels are subject-based qualifications that can lead to university, further study, training or work. You can normally study three or more A levels over two years and they are usually assessed by a series of examinations. A Levels are designed for young people thinking about going to university or who are unsure what career they want to pursue. Studying a selection of A levels can be a good way of keeping your options open.

T Levels

T Levels are new 2-year courses which are taken after GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels. These courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and education providers so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for entry into skilled employment, an apprenticeship or related technical study through further or higher education.

BTECs

BTECs are specialist work-related qualifications, which combine practical learning with subject and theory content. BTECs are designed for young people interested in a particular sector or industry.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships combine practical on-the-job skills training with off-the-job learning, providing training that is relevant to the job and paying a salary. You will spend 80% of your time in the workplace and 20% off the job with some study in a college, training centre or Institute of Technology.
