Vocational qualifications are a great way to learn the skills that employers need. They’re practical and hands-on courses, so they suit people who work best by doing rather than studying.

This means you can have an apprenticeship or technical course as your first step on the career ladder. You’ll be able to choose from a variety of vocational disciplines, with many careers open to you once you complete the course – just like any other graduate!

As an apprentice or a technical student, you’ll have a world of career opportunities, with the same professional development options as graduates. Vocational qualifications are recognised nationally and internationally by employers for their value in learning skills that make workers more employable.

They can give you practical experience and transferable skills – enabling apprentices to get into higher-level jobs after completing their course. You could even start your own business!

Vocational courses are competitively priced because they’re designed specifically for people who want to learn while earning a wage at the same time.
