Post-16 choices
What are you options for when you leave school at 16? You need to be in some form of education or training until you turn 18 – this could be college, apprenticeships or a traineeship. Find out more about your post-16 options and get advice on choosing what’s best for you
Post-18 choices
After finishing compulsory education, there are still lots of post-18 options open to you. From doing an apprenticeship, going to university or getting a job.
