Apprenticeship
The structure of the day really helped. You get used to having gaps in your timetable for independent study. Compared to high school with 9-4 you get in the routine of self-led study with the college timetable structure.

“I think social skills were really useful, when you come to Sixth Form you are with people you have never met before and make new friends. That really helps when you go to Uni and when you are an adult to have the confidence to go for new jobs.”

University
The gaps between lessons really helped with the transfer to independence at university. The freedom made you feel like an adult.
