As a parent/carer you will have lots of questions about higher education. You can read our Parent/Carer Guide to Higher Education which will help you understand the options ahead, and what as a parent/carer you can do to support your young learner.
In the resource library there are also a series of informative videos on all aspects of higher education and financing as well as real parents talking about their own experiences of their children's higher education experience.
Where do I go for advice?
For Applications to Universities or Higher Education at Further Education
Make sure you reviewed all the sections in the pathways as well as the various guides via the Resource library. If you still have questions you can contact us, contact the institution you are applying to or speak to your school or college careers contact/teacher.
For College or Training Provider Applications
For courses which are not Further Education related you should contact the institution directly. You can also contact us if you have any questions first, or speak to your school or college careers contact/teacher.
For Apprenticeship Applications
For all apprenticeship applications you should contact the company you applied to directly. You can also contact us if you have any questions first, or speak to your school or college careers contact/teacher.
In each section of the Pathways, there are links to external resources and organisations which may also be helpful for you. If you're not sure, please contact us and we can support you.
