ABSTRACT

The design and technology journey does not always finish at the age of 16 when compulsory education often ends. Within this chapter, you will discover both academic and vocational qualifications pupils could consider post-16 and the range of skills associated with each qualification set. With the transition after secondary education opening up a range of potential avenues for pupils to follow, you will explore some of the different educational settings available to pupils and how best to advise pupils in their journey. This chapter provides information that will help student teachers understand the routes and educational settings their pupils can progress to post-16.
