Choice - helping you with your education and career
Courses
Choice is an online directory for 14 – 19 year olds that lets
you find out which courses are offered and where. Search for a
course and you’ll find a list of related qualifications such as
City and Guilds or NVQ, the length of the course, times and days,
and how close they are to your home.
It's never too early or late to apply as most colleges and training
providers will take applications throughout the summer, although
it’s never too soon to start thinking about what you’re going to do
next, and the more popular courses tend to fill up fast!
Careers
If you don’t know exactly what you want to do, the careers area
quiz will help you decide what kind of job may suit you, and you
can make an action plan to help you plan your route into your
chosen career.
If you already know what kind of work you want to do you can
search for jobs and apprenticeships in your area, and use the CV
builder to help you write a great CV.
