How do students learn on vocational courses?
In many different ways, for example, investigation, discussion, research, problem solving, practical simulation, case study work etc. In other words pupils are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning developing independent study habits. Exposure to these different learning environments prepares pupils enormously for higher level study. Self confidence is an important bi product of a vocational pathway. Many Universities comment that students who have followed a vocational route at advanced level study are often better prepared for independent study at University.
