3. Common questions about further education pathways available after GCSE’s.
3.1 What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee learns and gains valuable experiences. Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours completing classroombased learning with a college, university or training provider which leads to a nationally recognised qualification.
3.2 What are A levels?
Advanced level qualifications (known as 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. Terminal exams are sat after 2 years of study.
3.3 What are BTEC qualifications?
BTEC stands for the Business and Technology Education Council. BTECs are specialist work-related qualifications. They combine practical learning with subject and theory content. BTEC Nationals are similar standard to A levels.
