Choosing Your A Levels and post-16 options

Choosing Post 16 options is one of the toughest decisions that students have to make at school because of its impact upon subsequent university and career options. Deciding which subjects interest you most and what type of qualification is suitable may affect your future career choice.

This book aims to guide students and their advisers through this difficult process, by providing a broad analysis of all the post -16 options and suggesting ways of dealing with the decision-making process. A key feature of the book is the way it links post-16 options to future career aspirations (for those intending to go to university, as well as for those who don't). Also detailed are the new Diplomas - what they are and who they are for. Containing expert advice and guidance, as well as factual information, this book is clear and accessible and essential for all Year 11 students.
