6 What is a vocational course? Advice for parents Vocational courses at are equivalent to A Levels; challenging, exciting and enable entry to university. They are mostly assessed by rigorous project work throughout the year, though tests and exams are part of assessment in some qualifications. For more practical university disciplines such as Media, IT, Business or Engineering; vocational learning can be a better preparation for higher education study. Our vocational qualifications are taught by staff with experience and skills from industry, in high-quality environments, which provide equipment as used in industry. Our students have lots of contact with the real world of employers and businesses through work experience, talks, visits or real-life projects. Students may undertake activities that develop skills of enterprise and entrepreneurship and take part in competitions. Making the right choice of organisation for study is critical. Whether it is to stay at school, go to vocational college or sixth form college full time; or whether to get an Apprenticeship and learn while earning. Getting a good start on the right course is essential. 18 year olds have to stay in education, but not necessarily at school Look at all the options available Take your child to Open Events Take any opportunity to attend taster events and days Look online for advice and information Vocational courses have a number of different names such as BTECs, NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications) and VRQs (Vocationally Related Qualifications) and are available at different educational levels, so the study is appropriate as students develop their skills and abilities. Vocational courses at Entry, Level 1 and help students develop their skills and move towards work or higher level courses
