Choosing the right further education is important to every young person.  When a young person has a special educational need and/or disability (SEND) the choice is sometimes even more complicated.

Further education is education after you are 16.  It is usually different from that offered in universities and some college (higher education). It can include many different types of course such as:

• A Levels and
• BTECs,
• basic skills training
• or higher vocational qualifications such as
• NVQ,
• City and Guilds,
• HNC,
• HND or
• a Foundation Degree.
