If you're 16 or 17

If you’re aged 16 or 17 you can study a further education (FE) course:

  • full-time at school or college
  • while at work

If you’re coming towards the end of a school or college course, you’re guaranteed a place on an FE course the following autumn if you’re under 18 years old.

Contact your school or local council to find out what’s on offer.
