What could this option do for you?

Gaining qualifications can give you more choice about your future. They show employers, colleagues, and universities that you have the skills and qualities needed to succeed and progress.

Getting qualifications can boost your confidence and can help you get a well-paid job.

Colleges offer lots of ways in which you can develop your skills, knowledge, and experience through taking part in the social life at college.

What do I need to do now?

Decide what and where you would like to study.

Make an application to the college.  You may choose to attend an open day/evening which will give you the opportunity to have a look round and ask questions.

You will probably be asked to attend an interview which will give you the opportunity to ask further questions and explore you options
