          THEIR OPTIONS: YEAR 13










          Review Questions:

          Your son / daughter should now have a much clearer picture of the different
          pathways available to them when they leave school. They should also have
          a good idea about the qualifications they may wish to study and where
          they would like to study them. Before you move on to the next section It
          would be useful to review their options and discuss what they are thinking.
          These questions may help you ensure they are clear on their next steps.
          1.   Accessibility:
             What do I want to study?
             Where can I study this?
             When can I apply?
              When is the closing date?
          2.   Entry Requirements:
             What qualifications, skills and experiences
             do I need to be able to do this?

          3.   Time:
             How long will this take me to complete?
             How many hours a week will this take?
             Am I committed to achieving this qualification?
          4.   Money:
             Will I need to pay for anything?
             Will I need to travel?
             Can I get any financial support?

             What qualifications and skills
             will I gain from doing this?
             Does this help me move closer
              to my career goal?

          6.   You:
             Am I doing this because it is what I want?
