It's different to GCSEs and A levels because:
- You'll get practical experience
- You learn in the classroom
- You'll find out about an area of work you're interested in
- You keep all your options open with the Diploma. So when you finish, you can stay at school or college and do another course - like the next level up Diploma, A levels or an NVQ. Or, go on to university, do an Apprenticeship or go into a job with training.
At the end... you'll have a better idea of what you want to do next. It could be more study at school or college, a job, university, college or an Apprenticeship.
