Students can enter into employment and continue to study on a day release basis or enter into a sponsored Modern Apprenticeship with a participating employer. Those who have also successfully completed the PEO Level 2 could also continue onto a Level 3 programme e.g. BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary & Extended Diploma or onto the Electro-Technical Installation course.

Learners are encouraged to re-sit GCSES, where grades are lower than a C/4.
