Options for young people

We’ve brought together information on all the options for young people, so you can help your students find out about the full range of opportunities available to them.

T levels (Post-16)

T Levels are a new, two-year qualification for 16-19 year olds and are ideal for learners who have finished GCSEs and want the knowledge and experience to get straight into employment, an apprenticeship or higher education.

Higher Technical Qualifications (Post-18)

Whereas apprenticeships involve employment for learners who wish to train mainly ‘on the job’, Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) are largely classroom based, taught in FE colleges, universities or independent training providers.
