Education and training

Education and training

It can be difficult to know what to do when you leave school but there are lots of options for young people with SEND. Here you can find out more information about the different options and support available.

There are lots of options, you can:

  • stay in full-time education, for example college
  • start an apprenticeship or traineeship
  • spend 20 hours or more a week working or volunteering, while in part-time education or training

A full-time college education will not be the same as full-time education pre-16. When you were at school, lessons were for 32.5 hours a week, but college courses can vary with most averaging around 20 hours a week, depending on the course.

We’ve also included information about getting to and from college, and the help there is to support you to make decisions.
