Information for Parents & Learners

Are you aged 11-19? Or the parent of someone aged 11-19? Thinking about the different options after school or college?

One of the options after finishing post 16 studies is to go on to higher education. The most common higher education providers are universities, higher level study can also be completed at at some local colleges or through a higher or degree apprenticeship.

The decisions made at school or college can have an impact on the choices made later, so it’s never to early to start thinking about the future.
