British further education qualifications are respected by employers and academics worldwide.
There are two main types: academic courses, and vocational and professional courses. Academic
courses help you prepare for higher education at a university or college. They aim to develop your
analytical skills, critical thinking and knowledge. Vocational and professional courses give you the
skills and qualifications you need to enter and succeed in your chosen career. They offer technical
training and skills for the workplace.
British further education providers invest heavily in facilities - from libraries, computer centres
and science laboratories to sports centres, theatres and arts studios. Class sizes are restricted to
ensure that you have access to equipment and enough time to talk to your tutors and lecturers.
British qualifications are a great boost to your CV and to your earnings. Employers are

universities have strong links with industry - many courses are designed in partnership with, and
taught by, industry professionals. Many include the option of a year in industry or a work placement,
