Vocational qualifications
Do your options include qualifications like BTECs and OCR Nationals?
These are work-related qualifications that cover a broad area of work. Your school may offer you a vocational qualification alongside your GCSEs, as part of a personalised learning programme, or as part of the Diploma. Vocational qualifications are part of all Young Apprenticeships.
