Vocational Courses

Vocational courses are right for you if you prefer a practical subject that gives you qualifications directly related to the job you want to do – like Business, IT, Care, Childcare, Construction, Art, Engineering, Sport, Travel, or Hair and Beauty.

People who feel more comfortable doing coursework instead of exams often choose a vocational course. You can also options open – if you do well after one year at college, you can use your new qualifications and experience to help you get a job, or you can carry on up to the next level and aim for university.
