About education and training options

You have to stay in education or training until you’re 18, but you can choose how you do it. You can:

  • study full time
  • combine study with work or volunteering
  • do an apprenticeship

You’ll want to choose the option that best suits the career you’re interested in, so it’s worth doing some research. For university courses and some careers, you need specific qualifications or grades.

GCSE English and Maths

If you do not have grade 4 or above in GCSE English or Maths, you’ll need to carry on studying them. You do not need to resit the exam, but you can if you want.
