What are Vocational courses?

• Vocational, courses are to do with the world of work and include areas such as: -
Construction / Catering and Hospitality / Hairdressing / Health and Social Care / Leisure and Tourism / Engineering / Business Studies / Performing Arts / Motor Vehicle Maintenance / Horticulture.
Not all of these are offered at every school and there may be other vocational courses available. You need to ask YOUR school to find out if these courses are on offer in year 9. Because these courses are to do with employment your school may not offer these in school and you may be required to attend specialist provision, such as local training providers or colleges that have these facilities.
