Qualifications
Qualifications can be a maze. As well as the traditional academic subjects taught in schools, there are new vocational ones that can have a direct bearing on the job your son or daughter chooses.
Our qualifications guide explains NVQs, GSCEs, A levels, Key Skills and more. You can also call into your local Connexions Access Point for advice from a Personal Adviser.
Alternatively, try the *Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the *Parents Centre, which gives information on Key Stage 3, coursework and exams in Years 10 and 11, and careers and options at 16+.
