Activities About Qualifications

Your pupils will be aware of the GCSE and A-Level opportunities through school, but are they aware of some of the alternatives?.

Lesson 1 –Apprenticeships

This is an individual research exercise and knowledge quiz. There is also a group activity which established the facts about apprenticeships.

Lesson 2 –Diplomas

This is an optional exercise which will be dependent on the provision for diplomas in your school or LEA. In this class activity, the differences between apprenticeships and diplomas are discussed.

Lesson 3 – Post-16 Pathways

Now students broaden their options by looking at all the qualification and opportunities open to them. Working in groups, students must summarise their findings and display the results to the rest of the class.
