  7. What do I need to progress? GCSE English and Maths at C or above or equivalent It is compulsory for these to be part of any ongoing training if not achieved.

  8. Next Qualifications?

  9. How do I choose? • Post-16 Options are wide and varied. • Choose very wisely and carefully and think about the following questions: Which A-levels/BTECs/NVQs will motivate and inspire you? In which A-levels/BTECs/NVQs will I succeed best? Where do these A-levels/BTECs/NVQs lead? Is the combination appropriate (What would a university admissions tutor/employer think of English Literature, English Language, Media Studies, and Theatre Studies?) • What are employers looking for?

  10. A levels • AS and A levels offered by schools and colleges for 16-19 year olds. • They’re highly valued by universities and employers and focus on academic subjects, although some are work-related. • AS levels can be taken as a stand-alone qualification, or as the first part of an A level course. • AS levels are completed at the end of Year 12.  • A2 exams and coursework are added on to an AS level at the end of Year 13, bringing it up to A level standard.

  11. What to take? • Some University courses will only accept specific subjects – research before you choose. • Certain A levels give you more flexibility in course choice – do your background research. • A levels are a big step up from GCSE. It’s important to study subjects you find interesting and motivated to learn.

  12. FAQ’s and concerns What do I choose to take? Is it worth paying University fees and can I afford them? What if I change my mind after starting A levels?

  20. Concerns and FAQs Will there be a job at the end of the course ? Can the qualifications be used to access new routes? Is the qualification I’m choosing the one that employers want? Will there be a chance of work during the course?
