Vocational qualifications allow you to learn by doing and focus on practical skills for specific careers. During a vocational course you will train in real life settings that allow you to build your confidence and be career ready. For this you will need a minimum of four or more GCSEs grades 9-3 including your Maths and English. After completing a Level 2 course you can progress to a Level 3 course or apprenticeship which will then allow you to progress to university, a university level course at HoW College or to employment.

Apprenticeships are an excellent way to gain hands-on experience whilst building the skills employers are looking for. As an apprentice, you’ll work alongside experienced staff, learning directly from those in the industry whilst also earning a wage. Apprenticeships combine practical training with classroom learning and are offered in a wide range of sectors making them a flexible and rewarding route into employment and further progression.

Apprenticeships allow you to earn a salary, receive standard employee benefits and are a great way to fast track your career.
