Professional Guidance for Further and Higher Education and Careers Advice
Education need not end at 16 and for many the next step is into the sixth form or a sixth form college to study A-levels, the International Baccalaureate or Cambridge Pre-U in preparation for university entry. At this stage, it can be difficult to decide which courses to take. If you have already planned your future career you will know what subjects you need to study, but if you have not made up your mind it can be hard to choose among the many options available.
Similarly, when the time comes to apply for university or a higher education institution you want to make the right choice of what to study and where, as fees are high and there is stiff competition for admission to the most popular courses.
For international students who wish to undertake higher education in the United Kingdom the process may be even more complicated: not only do they face a bewildering range of courses, but if their first language is not English, will they need help in achieving the required level of fluency? What are the visa requirements for overseas students? Will they be able to cope with the UCAS application process?
Higher education profiling, followed by one-to-one discussion, is one way of determining the best match for an individual candidate's personality, qualifications and interests and can help you to focus on the right areas. Others may be looking to obtain vocational qualifications, either through an apprenticeship or by attending a college; career profiling, similar to higher education profiling, is another means of matching the candidate to the career.
