This Sounds Like More School.........WRONG!!!!!!!!
Some of you are thinking 'oh no sounds like school'. It's not like school at all. Yes you are learning new things and yes, there is some classroom work involved but don't let this put you off. It's nothing like school as you will get help and support to help you. The people involved in these options are trained and are very capable and use to helping people who did not enjoy either school experience or work. Furthermore, you won't be treated like a little kid but as a young adult and be taught how to work in profession.
Only Higher or Further Education is like school as they include going to a college or universities which will appeal to others but not everyone.
