Your child can choose between different types of courses such as
a general education course, e.g. GCE A level, or vocational courses
such as GNVQ/BTEC/AVCE. These courses lead to a differing range of
career outcomes, although the qualification gained is sometimes
comparable and can lead to the same career outcome. If your child
chooses an A level course please note that the A level itself is
the course and not any particular combination of subjects.
Similarly with GNVQ/BTEC/AVCE courses, where, if the level and
vocational area required is available at your nearest centre,
transport will not be provided to a more distant centre for
particular combinations of option units and/or additional
units.
Please note that if your child chooses a centre, which is not
the 'nearest appropriate centre' to your family home, you will be
responsible for the transport arrangements and costs.
