What’s the difference between A Level and vocational qualifications?
A. It really depends on whether you want to study via an academic route, or through a practical vocational qualification. Both options allow you to progress onto higher-level study or into employment. See our description of the various study levels on Two Pathways to Success, read the profiles of two students both of whom have gone on to further success using different qualification routes. You can also speak to your school Connexions advisor for more information.
