At Further Education (FE) level, a range of academic and vocational qualifications are available including
- A-levels - usually taken after GCSEs, students typically choose three subjects to study full time over two years
- T levels - these combine classroom learning with an industry placement
- BTEC - work related qualifications which combine subject and theory content with practical experience
- Higher National Certificate (HNC) - equivalent to the first year of a Bachelors degree, can be completed in one year
All of these are types of courses and qualifications available at college. It is a different type of learning to that of studying at Sixth Form or University.
