Home 16-18
Choices you have to make at 16 are about what you want to study and where.
You could opt for A Levels in a school or sixth form college, or you could decide that an apprenticeship with an employer or work-based learning provider is best for you. These are only some of your choices.
This website includes general information to help you start thinking about the opportunities available to you in and around Sunderland at 16 years of age.
Diplomas
The Diploma is an alternative to the traditional GCSE and A Level routes, but one which keeps just as many options open. It could lead to further study, or to employment with training. Diplomas are not replacing GCSEs and A levels, but give you a different option.
