Pathways and options at 16

There are different ways of gaining skills and qualifications for employment. 

Connexions North Tyneside have created a ‘Post 16 SEND Directory’ which outlines the choices that can be made from age 16 upwards and contains this information in one place.   


Some of the most common choices from the Post 16 SEND Directory are listed below.   

Your Connexions Adviser can help in looking at the options available as next steps can depend on your areas of interest, your abilities and what you have achieved so far. 

The Post 16 SEND Directory will be updated regularly, but please note that as opportunities can change, to get up to date advice about local further education and training, and the full range of local provision at any one time, please contact Connexions

As part of thinking about Post 16 options, you should also be aware of the North Tyneside Council Post 16 Transport Policy for Learners with Learning Difficulties and / or Disabilities.
