Going to university will enable your child to continue their academic studies at a higher level and specialise in a subject that they are passionate about.
Progressing to a higher education qualification at a college can be an easier transition than heading to university. The wide range of part-time-full-time and distance learning study options allows flexible learning and studying in stages and even combining studying with work.
Progressing to the workplace will enable your child to earn a salary and start pursuing a successful career.
Gaining an apprenticeship will enable your child to learn a trade or skill, earn a salary and combine with on-the-job training while studying for nationally recognised qualifications. With the new higher apprenticeships, your child can even study at degree level and beyond.
