  • Post-16 Options Booklet
    Post-16 Options Booklet Post-16 Options: How does it all work? I Mr. Webb – Careers Adviser [email protected] Post-16 Education – What are my options? Since 2013, the Raising of the Participation Age law has stated that young people must be in some form of ‘education or training’ until they are 18. This can include: Full-Time Study – this could be a qualification taken at a sixth form, college or training provider, totalling 540 hours of learning time per year, or around 18 hours per week. Apprenticeships – this involves working for an employer while studying for a qualification as part of your training. Usually, work makes up 80% of an apprenticeship and at least 20% (or one day a week) should be dedicated to studying. Traineeships – this is an option for students who would like to do an apprenticeship but may not have the experience, skills or qualifications to do so yet. Traineeships can last up to six months and involve a work placement, Maths and English qualifications and support with finding an apprenticeship. Part-Time Study with Employment or Volunteering – this could be working in a full-time job (classed as any work that takes place over more than two months and is over 20 hours per week) or volunteering (again, over 20 hours per week) while studying part- time at a college or training provider (totalling 280 hours of learning per year). How do I pay for post-16 education and training? Education and training in the UK are free for young people until they turn 19.
