The Framework for Pupils, Parents and Carers

When you're planning what to do when you leave school, you can look at the Framework to help you decide which qualifications are best to get the job you want, or will lead to the career you want.

The Framework shows you the routes towards the learning you may need to do all through your life.

• learning that you can do in college or university, or at work, or in the community
• learning that will give you academic and/or vocational qualifications that will help you in your career and in your everyday life

For example, if you gain one Unit in the Higher Information Systems course at school, you would be credited for that learning when you go on to complete the same Higher at an FE college. Similarly, if you took an Advanced Higher Unit in Computer Systems you would gain credit towards the HNC in Computing.

For more information talk to your guidance tutor at school.
