How to choose your Post 16 courses
The decisions you make at this stage of your life will have important consequences for your future study and career opportunities. Therefore it is essential that any decision you come to is as well informed as possible. You may already have an idea of what you want to do in your life, or you may have no clear plans as yet. Either way, it is important when choosing your courses that you keep your options as open as possible.
You would be well advised to talk to your tutor, teachers, career advisor, read the course descriptions given in this prospectus, and ask about anything you do not understand.
In arriving at your decision, you are trying to balance three important factors:
- Your Academic Interest
- Your Personal abilities, aptitudes and skills
- The breadth of career choice available to you
