After completing your GCSEs, it’s important to choose a path that aligns with your career aspirations and learning style. At Suffolk New College, we offer a range of options to help you take the next step towards your future. Whether you’re interested in hands-on learning, a mix of classroom and practical experience, or earning while you learn, we have something for everyone.
What are my options after GCSEs?
Vocational
Our vocational courses are designed to provide practical skills and knowledge in a specific industry.
These courses are ideal if you want to gain hands-on experience and enter the workforce with confidence. You’ll learn from industry professionals and benefit from real-world training that prepares you for your chosen career.
T-Levels
T-Levels are a new qualification designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and the workplace.
These two-year courses combine academic study with a substantial industry placement, giving you the best of both worlds. T-Levels are perfect if you want to gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills in a specific area while also getting a taste of what it’s like to work in that industry.
Apprenticeships
If you’re eager to start earning and learning simultaneously, an apprenticeship could be the right choice for you. At Suffolk New College, we offer a variety of apprenticeships across different sectors.
You’ll work with an employer while studying part-time, gaining the qualifications and experience needed to succeed in your chosen field.
Still not sure what to do?
If you’re still unsure about your next steps after GCSEs, don’t worry – we’re here to help.
Our website features a dedicated Careers module with an inbuilt quiz designed to help you explore potential career options.
By answering a few simple questions, you’ll receive personalised recommendations on the courses we offer that can set you on the path to your ideal career. Whether you’re considering vocational courses, T-Levels, or apprenticeships, our Careers module will guide you towards the best choice for your future.
